Simple Recipes for Halloween Food Boards
Enjoy these simple recipes for Halloween charcuterie boards. Food style boards are my favorite way to serve food at parties, because they include a variety of seasonal foods and favorite snacks. Therefore, it’s easy for everyone to find something that they love.
Tips to Create a Festive Food Board
- Choose colorful and seasonal food to fit your theme and make it look festive.
- Dip any fruit or cookie into white chocolate and use chocolate chips to add spooky faces.
- Include a variety of sweet, savory, and salty snacks that are both homemade and store bought.
- Use Halloween themed cookie cutters to cut sliced cheese, meat or cookies into fun shapes.
- Use cookie cutters or decorative bowls to hold nuts, seeds, or small candies.
- Start in the center of the board and work your way out to place food.









Sweet. Salty. Savory.
