• Cheese: Choose an assortment of your favorite cheeses including both hard, firm varieties and softer ones. Try to incorporate some different Halloween colors as well by including an orange cheese, white and perhaps even something purple or speckled (so many fun options out there!).
• Cured Meats: Prosciutto, salami, chorizo and bresaola are all great options with their deep colors.
• Crackers: Choose a variety of interesting crackers with different textures or colors. Slices of baguette are another option.
• Fruit: Grapes, blackberries, figs, dried apricots, blueberries, pomegranate, passion fruit, orange slices or segments are all great options that fit with the Halloween color scheme.
• Veggies: Olives, cornichon pickles, roasted red peppers, carrots and sliced bell peppers, etc.
• Nuts & Seeds: Walnuts, pumpkin seeds, almonds, pistachios, etc.
• Preserves, Condiments & Spreads: You can include small bowls of preserves, honey, mustard, olive tapenade or anything else that you feel will help accent the flavors of the cheeses or meats.
• Some Spooky Additions: Edible spooky touches like candy eyeballs, fruit or cheese cut into Halloween shapes with cookie cutters, Halloween shaped crackers or cookies or Halloween candy (candy corn, mini pumpkins, gummy worms, chocolate pumpkins). You could even include some homemade Halloween treats like these Halloween Chocolate Covered Strawberries.
• Halloween Decorations: The perfect finishing touch! Finish things off with some skeleton hands, plastic spiders, fake cobwebs underneath the board or any other fun Halloween decorations you find.
