  • Pretzel rods

How to Assemble the Halloween Themed Charcuterie Board:

  • Start with the big items: Place the pumpkin-shaped brie, mummy hot dogs, and Frankenstein PB&Js around the board first to anchor the layout.
  • Add themed treats: Fill in with vampire Oreos, mummy cookies, and monster teeth apples—spread them out so each spooky bite gets a moment to shine.

  • Layer in savory bites: Tuck in rolled salami, celery sticks, pretzel rods, pistachios, and assorted crackers around the themed treats for balance.
  • Fill the gaps: Use mini glazed donuts, extra candy eyes, or Halloween picks and plastic spiders to fill small spaces and make the board pop.
  • Serve dips on the side: Add small bowls of ketchup and mustard for dipping the mummy dogs.

How Far in Advance Can I Prep the Snacks?

Most of the spooky treats on this board can be made 1–2 days in advance. Store each item separately in airtight containers to keep them fresh…just wait to assemble the board until the day of serving for the best presentation. For apples, slice and prep them the day of (to avoid browning), and add any delicate toppings like candy eyes or frosting right before serving.

How to Store:

  • Keep cold items chilled: Store items like the brie and monster apples in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble and serve.
  • Separate wet and dry: Avoid soggy snacks by keeping moist items (like celery, apples, or jam) away from dry ones (like crackers and cookies) until serving.
  • Leftover love: Wrap any uneaten items in plastic wrap or store in separate containers. Mummy dogs can be reheated in the oven, and leftover brie is great on toast the next day.

What Can I Use Instead of Candy Eyes?

No candy eyes? No problem! Here are some fun and easy swaps:

  • Mini chocolate chips (point-side down).
  • Dabs of white frosting with a tiny chocolate sprinkle in the center.
  • Melted white chocolate piped into circles with a black gel center.

Variations:

  • Make it nut-free: Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or cream cheese to keep it allergy-friendly.
  • Add more savory: Include cheese cubes, mini pepperoni, or Halloween-shaped cheese slices using cookie cutters.
  • Go sweet-only: Skip the savory items and load your board with Halloween candy, cookies, chocolate-covered pretzels, and gummy worms.
  • Use different cookies: Try Milano cookies, sandwich cookies, or graham crackers in place of shortbread for mummies.
  • Switch up the fruit: Use red apples or pear slices for the monster teeth, or add grapes and orange slices for more fall color.
  • Vary the sandwiches: Use Nutella and strawberry jam for a chocolatey twist on the Frankenstein PB&Js.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Party centerpiece: Serve this board as the main snack spread for Halloween parties, school events, or neighborhood get-togethers.
  • Pair with festive drinks: Serve alongside apple cider, pumpkin punch, or a spooky Halloween mocktail for the ultimate treat table.
  • Make it interactive: Let the kiddos build their own monster PB&Js or decorate cookies with frosting and candy eyes as a fun activity for a Halloween charcuterie board for kids.
  • Add themed touches: Use Halloween-themed napkins, plates, and mini plastic spiders or skeleton hands for extra creepy-cute vibes.
  • Movie night fun: Pair this festive Halloween charcuterie board with a Halloween movie marathon (Hocus Pocus is on of my favorite movies!) for a cozy night in.

Equipment

Instructions
 

For the Mummy Hot Dogs:

  • Preheat oven to 375℉.
  • Unwrap the hot dogs from the package and dry them off with a paper towel.
  • Make sure the crescent roll sheet is cut into thin strips using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
  • Take each hot dog and wrap 1½-2 stripes of crescent roll dough erratically, like mummy dressings.
  • Place the mummy hot dogs on a baking sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked all the way through. Serve with ketchup and mustard.

For the Vampire Bat Oreos:

  • Separate an oreo and scrape off the cream.
  • Carefully cut each side in half.
  • Separate another oreo and take two halves of a cut oreo and place them into the oreo cream, so they resemble wings. Replace the top oreo cookie.
  • Using white cookie frosting, pipe a smile and two dots for eyes. On the eye dots, place candy eyeballs.
  • Using red cookie frosting, add two bloody fangs onto the smile of the bat.
  • Repeat steps 1-5 with as many oreos as you'd like.

For the Mummy Cookies:

  • Taking a shortbread cookie, drizzle white cookie frosting over the cookie repeatedly to look like mummy dressings.
  • Add two candy eyeballs.
  • Before the frosting sets, sprinkle the cookie with white sanding sugar.
  • Repeat with as many cookies as you’d like. Allow the cookies to set before serving.

For the Monster Teeth Apples:

  • Cut a granny smith apple into slices.
  • Take a slice and spread about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter onto it.
  • Add four mini marshmallows on top of the peanut butter then top with another apple slice. This will look like a mouth.
  • Add bloody drips with red cookie frosting onto the marshmallow teeth.
  • Repeat with remainingapple slices.

For the Pumpkin Brie:

  • Using a 3 inch pumpkin cookie cutter, press the cutter about half-way down into a brie wheel.
  • Use a knife to remove the inner pumpkin-shaped portion of the brie.
  • Fill the hollow pumpkin shape with peach or apricot jam.

For the Frankenstein Monster PB&Js:

  • Take a piece of wheat bread and spread some peanut butter and jelly just into the center of the bread.
  • Top with another piece of bread.
  • Press the inner portion of the uncrustable cutter down onto the bread then add the outer portion and press down firmly. Remove the excess crust.
  • Using black cookie frosting, pipe a jacked chevron shape about ⅔ up across the sandwich. Fill in that top portion with frosting.
  • Pipe a smile line and two dots where the eyes will be.
  • Add two candy eyes.
  • Repeat steps 1-6 with as many sandwiches as you’d like.

Board Construction:

  • In the center of your board, place your pumpkin brie wheel.
  • In the upper right side of the board, add your mummy hot dogs and two little ramekins/cups with ketchup and mustard.
  • Fold each salami piece in half, then into an accordion shape. Place a toothpick through the bottom half of the salmi accordion. Repeat with the rest of the salami package. **I was able to fit 4 salami slices on one toothpick.
  • Arrange the salami into a faint S shape on the top half of the board.
  • Next to the salami, add a ramekin of salted pistachios.
  • On the bottom right of the board, add your Frankenstein monster PB&J sandwiches.
  • In the space between the salami and the hot dogs, add your mummy cookies.
  • Below the pistachios, add your monster apple teeth.
  • Right below the pumpkin brie, arrange your celery sticks and below that, the pretzel rods.
  • To the left of the pretzel rods, carefully arrange your oreo bats.
  • Finally, fill in the remaining space with mini donuts and assorted crackers.
  • Serve and enjoy!
