We talked about fall movie nights last week, but afterward we realized that even though we included our favorite cozy fall pajamas, we were sorely lacking in snacks! How could we, right?? After all, a movie night without snacks is like a ghost with nowhere to haunt: incomplete.
We’ve corrected our foodie faux pas with this Halloween snack board, which we’ve lovingly dubbed the char-boo-terie board!
Our char-boo-terie board is a Halloween snack board in the shape of a ghost! It’s perfect for movie nights and Halloween parties, but hey–I’m not going to stop you from eating it for dinner.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m really not a fan of cooking. It’s just not my thing. But I do love snacks! So rather than cooking up a meal, I arranged some snacks into a cute ghost-shaped char-boo-terie Halloween snack board!
You can easily make a char-boo-terie board, too!
Make Your Own Halloween Snack Board
You’ll need:
A wooden cutting board and an assortment of white snacks. We used yogurt-covered pretzels, merengues, jicama, white chocolate chips, rice cakes, goat cheese, pita wedges, sliced cheese, crackers, and ghost-shaped potato crisps, then Oreos (or a similar cookie) for the eyes and mouth. Trader Joe’s is your friend here.
Instructions:
- Place a stack of 2-3 oreos where you want each eye. Make a pile of cookies where you want the ghost’s gaping mouth.
- Arrange white snacks in a ghost shape around the eyes and mouth.
- Consider what flavors you want touching each other. We used neutral-tasting foods like jicama and rice cakes to separate our sweet and savory snacks.
Enjoy your boo-tiful Halloween snack board!
More Inspiration
Because charcuterie refers to a specific kind of meat, I’ve started calling my boards “snack-uterie” boards. Do you think it will stick? Either way, you can see my first Kids Charcuterie Board here.
