How to Make a Halloween Snack Board (aka Char'Boo'terie Board)
A Halloween snack board is a fun way to graze on snacks while you're having a scary Halloween movie night, handing out treats to trick or treaters, or for a Halloween party! We've got a variety of cheese, fun snacks for the kids, and so much more!
Equipment
Ingredients
Cheese:
- 6 ounces cheddar
- 6 ounces Gouda
- Marinated mozzarella
- Prepared mummy brie
Fruit/Veggies:
- Kiwis
- Blackberries
- Strawberries
- Mandarins
- Sweet peppers
- Moon Drop grapes
- Green apples
Other ingredients:
- Olives
- Caramel corn
- Chocolate covered pretzels/almonds
- Dried apricots

- White or semi-sweet chocolate for melting

Instructions
- MANDARIN 'PUMPKINS': Cut a small 'x' in the mandarin. Place a small 1 inch piece of celery in the 'x' and gently push down so that it goes through.
- FRANKEN-KIWIS +SHOCKED PEPPERS: Cut the kiwi in half. Use a paring knife to score where you'd like the 'hair line' to be. Then use a peeler or a paring knife to peel away the rest. Add a small squeeze of chocolate for the eyes and mouth as you'd like. Pat the peppers dry, add a squeeze of chocolate for the eyes, add candy eyes, and mouth.
- CHEESE: Cut the cheese using ghost, pumpkin, or bat shapes. If the cheese is white, I like to put a dark colored fruit below, then place the cheese on top. Place cheeses on your board. Add fresh or faux pumpkins or a skull.
- ADD THE FUN STUFF: Add cauldrons full of olives, chocolate covered almonds, place the guacamole on the board along with all the prepared kiwi, peppers, and mandarins.
- FILL THE BOARD: Scatter the board with caramel corn, chocolate covered pretzels, dried apricots, pistachios, and an assortment of crackers.
