Halloween CHARCUT-OUIJA Candy Board

What’s Up, Hungry People?

If there’s one thing to love about spooky season, it’s all 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 CHARCUT-OUIJA board comes in handy.

AS SEEN ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA!

Last Halloween, I made this CHARCUT-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 a tactile experience that touches all 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!

Here’s What You Need

• Your favorite candies: Don’t hold back—add what you love!
• Mini sweets like stroopwafels and Toblerone: Add some chocolaty crunch.
• Pumpkin-spiced whoopie pies and donut holes: Some cakey texture and a little pumpkin spice.
• Caramel and cheddar cheese popcorn: An unlikely duo that brings together sweet and salty.
• Goblin pretzels: Sugary sweet pretzel bites with a hint of sour.
• Candy eyes: So your dessert can stare back at you.
• 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: Festively colored frosting makes them pop.
• Apple-flavored goodies: Green twists or Twizzlers are a great addition.

Let’s Summon Up Some Spirits

Start by gathering your goodies. Pick a Halloween or Ouija-themed tray that sets the right vibe. If you want to add a little personal touch, a wooden board or slate works well for a homemade feel.

Layer It Up

To create a visual masterpiece, layer your items by type and color. Place your sweets in small clusters, alternating colors and textures. Add height to the board by stacking some candies and using cupcake liners for the mini treats. This adds visual interest and encourages people to explore.

Pop in Some Personality

Throw in some fun elements like candy eyeballs or spooky-themed toothpicks. Feel free to throw in some creepy-crawly decorations or mini pumpkins to fill gaps. Use your creativity to make it as fun or eerie as you want!

Time to Feast

Once your CHARCUT-OUIJA board is complete, it’s time to let the spirits feast. Whether it’s for a Halloween party or a night of binging horror movies, this candy board will surely delight all the ghouls and goblins in attendance.

Tips for a Killer Candy Board

• Mix Textures and Flavors: Variety is key, so mix different textures and flavors. Think soft gummies with crunchy pretzels or rich chocolates with tart sour candies.
• Balance the Sweets and Savories: If you’re adding savory elements like popcorn, balance them with sweet options to keep everyone coming back for more.
• Use Seasonal Colors: Stick to a color scheme that matches your theme. Halloween colors like orange, black, green, and purple can really make the board pop.
• Consider Dietary Preferences: Include some healthier options or sugar-free candies for guests who might have dietary restrictions.
• Create a Journey: Arrange your candies in a way that takes people on a sweet journey across the board. Use a centerpiece and work outward, adding contrasting colors and textures as you go.

Common Questions About Charcuter-Ouija Boards

• What if I don’t have a themed tray?
  • You can use any large platter or cutting board you have on hand. Add some Halloween-themed napkins or decor to make it more festive.
• Can I make this in advance?
  • Absolutely! You can prepare the board a few hours before your event. Just keep it covered to maintain freshness.
• What if I have leftover candy?
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers to keep them fresh. You can repurpose them for other treats or snack on them later.
• Are there any alternatives to candy eyes?
  • Yes! You can use small chocolate chips or raisins to get a similar effect.

After your spooky CHARCUT-OUIJA board is assembled, you’ll be ready to amaze your friends and family with the ultimate Halloween treat. It’s perfect for movie nights, parties, or even just a night at home pretending to be a candy connoisseur. Don’t be afraid to swap in your personal favorites and let your creativity run wild – just make sure you have enough to go around! Feel free to get the kids involved, too; they’ll love helping with the decoration and sampling the goods. Whether you’re serving up some ghostly goodies or just indulging in a little nostalgic candy fun, this board will surely be a hit. Wishing you a hauntingly delicious Halloween, Hungry People!
