Kids Halloween Charcuterie Board

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

A curated gathering of adorable Halloween-themed food art! Make this Halloween Charcuterie board for your kid’s playdate or school party, or pick a few individual items to make during the days leading up to Oct. 31st!

This super fun Halloween spread is really for the kids, but let’s be honest: it would also be perfect for any adult Halloween get-together, or even for date night snacks. There are a few key features, along with candy, meat, and veggie fillers. Most need to be made immediately before serving.

Cucumber Skulls

  • I borrowed this idea from one of my favourite Instagram accounts, Food Bites. I used a small spoon to make the cuts on the sides (this took some practice), and then I used a chopstick to make the holes (use the thicker square end of the chopstick for the eyes, and the smaller tip for the nostrils).

Halloween Charcuterie Board-2

Cheese Spiders

  • Mix together grated cheese and a bit of nutritional yeast in a bowl. Roll bocconcini balls in the mixture. Stick in (dry) chow mein noodles for legs, and use black Sparkle Gel for the eyes. Place on a piece of rice cake or cracker. Inspired by this original recipe.

Halloween Charcuterie Board-3

Mandarin Orange Pumpkins

  • You can simply pop a piece of celery into a peeled mandarin orange, but if you’re doing this charcuterie-style, break off a grouping of four to five slices and lay them flat on your board. Place square crackers underneath to resemble a haystack.

Halloween Charcuterie Board-4Cheese String Fingers

  • Take a mozzarella cheese string and break it in half. Use a paring knife to make a nail bed for your chopped red pepper. After that, take a serrated knife to make knuckle marks, and add some ketchup on the ends for blood (skip this step if it’s too scary for the kiddos). You could also use sliced almonds for fingernails instead. This is a great tutorial.

Halloween Charcuterie Board-5Witches Broomsticks

  • This one also came from Foodbites, although I used cheddar cheese instead. Cut off a small block, slice three cuts in the bottom, and stick a pretzel stick in the top. Use edible adhesive to tack on candy eyes and black Sparkle Gel for the smile.

Halloween Charcuterie Board-6Banana Ghosts

  • Cut a banana in half and use edible adhesive to tack on chocolate chip eyes. Finish off with Sparkly Gel brows and mouth. Make sure to put this out no more than 20 minutes beforehand to avoid the bananas turning brown!

What do you do when other kids are mean to your ki What do you do when other kids are mean to your kid? How do you handle it? No matter what season you're in with parenting or how old your kids are, I would love to hear your tactics! Please share below in the comments and we can all learn from each other👇👇. #pinkshirtday

Even when Wyatt was littler and would sometimes get rejected at the park when he asked to play, it would shatter my heart. 😫

I was bullied in high school pretty bad. My aunt stepped in one time and regulated some mean girls. Shared the (now) hilarious story on my Stories.❤❤

Wyatt's cute tee is from @deuxpardeuxkids, I'm wearing my @smashtess sweetheart roper and that heart print out is @justinema's free printable Kindness Challenge! (Looks like I have some catching up to do)! 🤣
See that cute little face photo bombing in the bac See that cute little face photo bombing in the back? 😊 He helps with my mental health on a daily basis. I know what each person needs varies, but for me, getting alone time to walk the dogs has been key in managing my anxiety and stress (especially this past year).

I believe investing in mental health initiatives is more important than ever. I’m so happy to be partnering with @atbfinancial for a really meaningful campaign called #ATBUp.

Each weekday from March 1-12, one more simple, FUN social challenge will be presented. When you complete and share on social using #ATBUp, @atbfinancial will donate $1 to @mentalhealthab!

I’ll be heading up two challenges—and including Moses 🐶 and Monroe 🐶. I hope you’ll join me! 😊💛
