Halloween Charcuterie Board

Come join me this fall by making a Halloween themed charcuterie board! Charcuterie boards are definitely just adult Lunchables but you won’t hear a complaint from me. I thoroughly enjoy both creating and eating charcuterie in any form. It doesn’t even need to be an expensive platter- the act of eating is where I get my joy from.

The Props

I used a skeleton from my Halloween decoration lot (most likely from Michael’s originally), gave it a bath for food safe purposes and gently removed his limbs- I was lucky they were in with screws and pins that could be easily removed.

It’s really hard to find these type of skeletons at a reasonable price these days so I’m very grateful I picked this guy up before it was cool.

I used an orange and black rectangular plastic serving platter to add more spooky colours into the mix. The tray was $3 I think

I probably had too much fun with the bath but I mean you can’t be too careful when it comes to food safety! Also, this poor fella lives in a tote in the basement for 9 months out of the year usually so a spa day was well deserved.

The Charcuterie menu:

For the board, I chose;

  • Sliced baguette;

  • Garlic butter;

  • Strawberries;

  • Grapes;

  • Plums;

  • Brie;

  • Mini mozzarella wheels (babybell);

  • Sliced pepperoni;

  • Shaved turkey;

  • Shaved roast beef; and

  • Fresh parsley for garish.

I also made a small plate for those who aren’t ready to embrace the spooky just yet, same ingredients just less skeleton.
