Halloween Charcuterie Board

Charcuterie Board Ingredients

Pick and choose your favorites to create your perfect Halloween Charcuterie Board! 

Sweet

• Grapes and Cheese Skewers – Arrange grapes and cheese cubes on toothpicks for bite-sized skewers.
• Kiwi Frankenstein – To turn these fuzzy fruits into mini Frankenstein faces, use a paring knife to gently peel away half of the skin. Then, use decorative eyes and peppercorn stems for ears!
• Vegan Pumpkin Pie Dip – Tastes just like pumpkin pie filling, it’s seriously good. Serve it with apple slices, gluten-free crackers, cookies, and more! 
• Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies – Made with just 7 ingredients, this recipe tastes just like your favorite chocolate chip cookies, but better! Egg free, grain free, and refined sugar free, for a delicious allergy-friendly dessert.
• Dried Fruit – I used Mariani’s Simply Dried Mango and Apricot, but any dried fruit you have on hand would work!
• Monster Cookie Bars – Soft and slightly chewy they’re baked to golden perfection and are studded with chocolate in every bite. 

Savory

Full of protein, these savory options are a tasty way to stay fueled and prevent a sugar crash!

• Gluten-free chips and Vegan Queso – Who doesn’t love tortilla chips and queso? Now, with gluten-free crackers and a homemade vegan cheese sauce, everyone can join in on the fun without sacrificing any flavor!
• Salami and Gluten-Free Crackers – For the meat eaters, salami and crackers add an element of savory flavors to help balance out the sweetness of the fruit and chocolate.
• Cheese Wedge with Pomegranate or Raspberries – For a fun addition, we took a large cheese wedge and added pomegranates and raspberries on top to resemble “blood” droppings.
• Roasted Pumpkin Seeds – Pick your favorite flavor, or add all three for a crunchy snack full of fall flavor! 

Chocolate

Whether you prefer to dip, dunk, or sprinkle, we’ve got a chocolate option for you! 

• Chocolate Orange Slices – This classic dessert is super easy to make. Just melt your favorite dark chocolate, peel your oranges, and dip half of each slice in the chocolate. Then, just lay them on parchment paper to harden.
• Mini Pumpkins (Peeled Oranges with Chocolate Chip or Pepper Stems in the Center) – Super cute and deceivingly easy to make, just peel your oranges, and add a chocolate chip or pepper stems to the center to create a pumpkin!
• Chocolate Almond Butter Cups – A better-for-you recipe, they’re completely refined sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan-friendly. 

• Dark Chocolate Covered Apricots – Use fresh or dried apricots dipped in dark chocolate. Or, skip the chocolate, and sprinkle dried apricots throughout your board!
• Graham Cracker Mummies – To make this recipe, dunk your graham crackers in melted chocolate, and lay them on parchment paper until the chocolate hardens. Then, use vegan frosting or melted white chocolate to drizzle “gauze” across the top, and add your mummy eyes!
• Dark Chocolate Oven S’mores – With homemade marshmallows and gluten-free graham crackers, they’re an easy, allergy-friendly upgrade to the nostalgic favorite.
• Dark Chocolate Chips – For a little added sweetness, fill in any gaps with extra chocolate chips.
• Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes – An easy handheld allergy-friendly treat, these cupcakes can be included as they are or iced and decorated with spooky eyes, sprinkles, and more for added decoration.
