31 Halloween Charcuterie & Snack Boards to Die For
Halloween Charcuterie & Snack Boards; Halloween is the time of year when the spooky vibes are strong, the costumes are wild, and the snacks… well, they should be just as memorable as your costume! If you’re looking for a fun, creative way to celebrate the season, why not put together a Halloween charcuterie or snack board that will not only wow your guests but also keep them coming back for more? We’ve compiled 31 Halloween snack board ideas—from savory and sweet to vegan and gluten-free—that are as delicious as they are creepy! 1. Spooky Cheese & Meats Board A Halloween charcuterie board is incomplete without a selection of cheeses and meats. For a spooky twist, opt for cheeses that are orange, black, or white. Black cheddar, smoked gouda, or mozzarella (which can easily be cut into ghost shapes) are perfect for setting the tone. Pair these with eerie meats like pepperoni, salami, or prosciutto. 2. Mummy Hot Dogs Hot dogs don’t have to be boring, and for Halloween, they can be downright fun! Mini hot dogs wrapped in crescent dough and baked to golden perfection resemble little mummies when topped with mustard or ketchup “eyes.” 3. Monster Meatballs Monster meatballs are a savory snack that packs both flavor and fun. You can make spicy meatballs and serve them with a blood-red tomato dipping sauce, or if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, whip up a garlic or spicy sriracha dip. 4. Creepy Caprese Skewers Caprese skewers are a refreshing and simple option to add a touch of elegance to your Halloween spread. Instead of using regular skewers, try using Halloween-themed toothpicks or picks with ghosts, bats, or pumpkin designs. 5. Witch’s Potion Dip Board What’s a Halloween gathering without a cauldron of something to dip? Create a bewitching dip board with guacamole, hummus, and salsa served in small “cauldrons” (you can find these online or use small black bowls). Add spooky dips like a spider-web ranch or a “blood” red salsa. 6. Candy Corn Delight Halloween wouldn’t be complete without candy corn, and this colorful treat is the perfect addition to your snack board. Instead of just placing a pile of candy corn in the center, use it creatively by layering it in a triangular pattern to mimic a pumpkin or display it in small glass jars for a neat and fun presentation. 7. Ghoulish Fruit Board For a sweet yet healthy Halloween option, a ghoulish fruit board is perfect. Think orange slices (mini pumpkins), blackberries, grapes, and sliced apples with a blood-red dip (such as strawberry yogurt or raspberry syrup). 8. Witch’s Brew Cookie Board Baking Halloween-themed cookies is a great way to add some homemade magic to your snack boards. Spiderweb cookies, pumpkin-shaped sugar cookies, and monster cookies will get your guests into the Halloween spirit. 9. Chocolaty Creeps If your guests have a sweet tooth, this is the board for them. Combine an assortment of Halloween-themed chocolates, such as truffles, chocolate-covered pretzels, and mini bars of dark chocolate. The trick is to make everything feel a little spooky by adding a Halloween twist. 10. Spooky S’mores Board S’mores are always a crowd-pleaser, and for Halloween, you can get extra creative with your board. Provide graham crackers, marshmallows (maybe shaped like ghosts), and chocolate bars on a large board. You could even include a small, tabletop fire for roasting marshmallows right at the party. 11. Monster Snack Board This one’s for the kiddos (and the young-at-heart!). A Monster Snack Board is an assortment of fun, child-friendly treats, including mini sandwiches with monster faces made from cucumber slices, olives, and cheese. 12. Pumpkin Pie Mini Cups Individual servings of pumpkin pie are an excellent Halloween dessert. These mini pumpkin pie cups are perfect for guests who want a little sweetness but don’t want to dive into a large slice of pie. 13. Spooky Popcorn Bar Create a popcorn bar with a variety of flavored popcorn: caramel, cheese, spicy sriracha, or even pumpkin spice. Provide bowls of candy corn, pretzels, or chocolate chips for guests to mix in as they please. 14. Monster Veggie Board This is the healthiest option on the list, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun! Use a variety of vegetables to create a “monster face,” using black olives for eyes, cherry tomatoes for noses, and carrots for teeth. 15. Halloween Donut Board A Halloween donut board is a sweet and whimsical addition to any celebration. Serve mini donuts decorated with spooky faces, sprinkles, or ghost-shaped icing. You can make this board even more fun by offering a selection of different types of donuts—chocolate, vanilla, and cinnamon sugar. 16. Vampire’s Blood Wine & Cheese Board For a more adult-friendly Halloween treat, a wine and cheese board will elevate your spooky soirée. Opt for aged cheeses, rich meats, and a selection of wines—maybe even a bottle of “Vampire’s Blood” red wine. 17. Spooky Savory Tapas Board Tapas are perfect for a Halloween party. Small bites like olives, stuffed peppers, grilled veggies, and cured meats pair well with a variety of cocktails. 18. Gothic Dark Chocolate & Wine Pairing Board For those who love dark chocolate, a dark chocolate and wine pairing board is perfect. Combine rich dark chocolate truffles, cacao nibs, and chocolate-covered nuts with wines that complement their depth, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. 19. Witch’s Tasting Flight Board Create a tasting flight of small-batch spirits—bourbon, gin, or rum—paired with gourmet cheeses and olives. This is an excellent option for an adult-only Halloween gathering. 20. Halloween Tapas & Cocktail Pairing Board For an even more elaborate adult board, pair your tapas with Halloween-themed cocktails, such as a “Black Magic Martini” or a “Blood Orange Margarita.” Offer a variety of small savory bites like patatas bravas, manchego cheese, and jamón. 21. Vegan Halloween Snack Board A vegan Halloween board is not only delicious but can be just as spooky as its non-vegan counterparts. Think hummus, guacamole, roasted veggies, olives, and fruit. 22.
