If there’s one thing I love about spooky season, it’s all of the TREATS that come with it! This year I’m summoning up the festive spirit with a few tricks of my own.
That’s where my CHARCUTER-OUIJA board comes in handy.
AS SEEN ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA!
Last Halloween I made this CHARCUTER-OUIJA board for Good Morning America!
Whether you like handing out candy or hoarding it for yourself, there’s a little bit for everyone on my haunted table.
The most important thing to consider when building a charcuterie board – of any type, meat and cheese included – is that it should be tactile experience that touches all of the senses.
That means, you want a range of sweets on your board – from sugary to sour, crunchy and chewy to soft and airy. Some treats should be open for sharing but leave a few options for individuals to prize for themselves.
Best Candy Combo to Raise the DEAD
Here’s what I included on my board, plus a few additional ideas for you to try on your own!
- mini sweets like stroopwafels and Toblerone – add some chocolaty crunch
- pumpkin spiced whoopie pies and donut holes – some cake-y texture + PUMPKIN SPICE
- caramel and cheddar cheese popcorn – an unlikely duo that is the best of both worlds
- goblin preztels – sugary sweet pretzel bites with a hint of sour
- candy eyes – so your dessert can stare you back
- jelly pumpkins and sour candies – add a bit of sour chew
- almonds decorated like olives – a little trick to add to the board
- boxed candies like Skittles and Gobstoppers – get the box size for optimal joy
- boxed raisins and healthy treats – for those who don’t want or can’t have candy, add some sweet and healthy alternatives
- mini cupcakes – get festively colored frosting
- apple flavored goodies – like green twists/Twizlers are a great addition
- add your favorite candies too!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
