Our own summary of the original — the full post and photos live at cookingwithjanica.com.
This Halloween veggie tray features a skeleton body made from peppers, cucumbers, and mushrooms, plus a cheese graveyard with brie coffin, gouda headstones, and cheddar crosses. A guacamole monster head with olive eyes and tortilla chip hair completes the eerie spread.
Ingredients
Directions
- Position the veggie dip container at the top of your platter. Use Romaine leaves as hair, and olives for the eyes and nose.
- Layer cucumber slices in rows on top of each other to form the spine.
- Slice each color of bell pepper from top to bottom into strips. Stack these strips on both sides of the cucumber spine to resemble ribs.
- Arrange the sliced mushrooms below the ribs to create the pelvis.
- Place celery stalks as shoulders and arms, connecting them at the joint with a cherry tomato.
- Use broccoli and cauliflower florets for the hands.
- Shape the brie wedge into a coffin by trimming off the top, parts of the sides, and the bottom point.
- Cut the Gouda into small rectangles or squares to resemble headstones, leaving the red wax on top.
- Halve the cheddar block lengthwise, then cut into cross shapes.
- Use black gel icing to write RIP on the brie and headstones if desired.
- Spoon the guacamole onto a plate and shape it into a rectangle.
- Add a dollop of sour cream for each eye, then place an olive on top of each dollop.
- Cut some olive slices in half and arrange them haphazardly to form the mouth.
- Insert two baby carrots into the sides of the head (guacamole rectangle).
- Gently press blue tortilla chips into the top of the head.
