For starters, throw in some white or milk chocolate covered pretzels. These are quick and delicious, and normally come in bags with a good amount. To add even more of a spooky vibe to your board, try adding some Halloween candy like mini Hershey’s or Kit-Kat bars. A candy charcuterie board is not complete without some Reese’s peanut butter cups for a sweet and salty mix. This is a super simple way to give your board that touch of traditional, festive candy. Speaking of tradition, you can’t forget the candy corn. Toss some candy corns over top to fill in spaces and give it that quintessential Halloween look. Try looking around for some other fun goodies like themed Oreo cookies.

If you don’t want to go the sugary sweet tooth path, you can always switch out the candy for fruit! Peaches, strawberries, blackberries, and other colorful options dipped in chocolate can be an ideal substitution. To add some savory goodness to your charcuterie board, add in some salty snacks to accompany your sweets. Some great options include Ritz crackers and popcorn. Pair these with some of your favorite cheeses and meats, and you’ve got your Halloween themed charcuterie board ready to go.
