Kids Halloween Charcuterie Board

October 19, 2020 By Kari Leave a Comment

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!

You know what drains a kid's emotional cup - being overscheduled. We've lived it and I'm here to say it's SO MUCH BETTER on the other side.

📍Last year, our goal was to give our oldest (now 8) every opportunity to try things to figure out what he loved. His schedule was packed with activities (I realize this is a privileged point). We were running - sometimes literally - from school to activity every night of the week and on weekends.

📍Fast-forward to this year - he has so much more time to just be a kid and we're all happier! He's picked a couple of things he's passionate about, but we've cut so much out and now most of our after-school time is open. Maybe we'll run an errand, maybe we'll come home and hang out, maybe we'll play at the park with friends and get ice cream. 

✨️ If one day he decides he wants to pour more time into one of his passions - we support that, but for now this is it and it's awesome! 

➡️ Have you lived this? How do you balance wanting to expose your kid to different activities so they find what they love with wanting your kids to just be a kid? Share below.

🚨Two Laundry Hacks!🚨 Share this with a frien 🚨Two Laundry Hacks!🚨 Share this with a friend who could use some laundry help. 🤗

➡️ Do you hate laundry? Love it? I love washing and hanging. My husband is definitely better at folding. ❤️

Tip 1️⃣ has been a game-changer. Fresh laundry and no stinky clothes that have been sitting too long. I schedule mine to end when our baby naps so I can get to it right away. 

Tip 2️⃣ if you want wrinkle-free clothes that don't wear down as quickly - take your clothes from the wash and throw in the dryer for 5-8 mins only and then hang to dry. I do this for everything but stuff that is workout pant or bathing suit material (that goes straight on the rack).

The little time on the dryer is just enough to take the wrinkles out without shrinking or compromising the longevity of your items.

Towels, blankets, and sheets do go in the dryer for a full round. 

Did this help?
