Print Recipe

A fun and easy Halloween charcuterie board combining sweet and savory snacks, perfect for little hands before trick-or-treating. Ready in under 15 minutes with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups candy corn
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chocolate-covered raisins
  • 1 cup gummy worms
  • 1/2 cup orange and black jelly beans
  • 1 cup caramel popcorn
  • 1 cup pretzel sticks
  • 1 cup cheese cubes (mild cheddar or colby jack)
  • 1/2 cup turkey pepperoni slices
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup whole wheat crackers
  • Edible eyeballs (for decoration)
  • Halloween sprinkles (optional)
  • Mini pretzel twists (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place small bowls or ramekins on a large wooden cutting board or serving platter. Fill one with candy corn, one with mini marshmallows, and one with gummy worms. Space them evenly.
  2. Arrange cheese cubes and turkey pepperoni in small clusters around the bowls. Optionally, cut cheese into bat shapes using mini cookie cutters.
  3. Create small bundles of pretzel sticks, like tiny log cabins, for easy grabbing.
  4. Arrange whole wheat crackers in overlapping rows around the edges of the board to create a border.
  5. Place gummy worms so they look like they are slithering out from under the bowls or tucked between cheese cubes.
  6. Sprinkle candy corn generously around the bowls and in any empty spaces.
  7. Add edible eyeballs strategically around the board, such as on top of cheese cubes or behind pepperoni.
  8. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Add candy corn and edible eyeballs just before serving.

Notes

Set the board out no more than 30 minutes before serving to keep candy corn from getting sticky. Keep a backup stash of candy corn for replenishing. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free crackers and pretzels. For a nut-free board, choose nut-free pretzels and crackers.
