Snack boards (aka charcuterie) are one of my very favorite appetizers or even meals to serve during holidays, movie nights,

dinner parties, and even rainy days at home when you don’t want to cook!

For my Hocus Pocus Party last week I made this fun Hocus Pocus movie themed charcuterie board filled with Halloween sweets and treats to nibble on.

It was a hit with both adults and kids  and super easy to make!

This recipe and many more are featured in my Hocus Pocus Party roundup.

Halloween Hocus Pocus Charcuterie

Ingredients

  • 3 round white cheeses like Brie mozzarella, and goat
  • 2-3 kinds assorted crackers
  • 3 kinds sliced meats like summer sausage prosciutto, and salami
  • Halloween themed candies like marshmallow ghosts chocolate pumpkins, and gummy worms
  • small snacks to fill cups and cookie cutters like nuts cubed cheese, and fruit
  • For the witches hair and dresses:
  • Sarah- popcorn hair and pomegranate seeds or raspberries for her dress
  • Winnie- cheeseball hair and sliced kiwi and green apple dress
  • Mary- blackberry or blueberry hair and candy corn dress
  • letter shaped cookies to spell HOCUS POCUS, optional
  • striped chocolate cookies topped with Hershey's kisses to make witches hats optional
  • candy eyeballs to add to snacks to make into monsters, optional
  • sliced strawberries to make witch mouths
  • edible marker or sliced olives for witch eyes

Instructions

  • Start by laying out your bowls/cups, cookie cutters and decor on the tray. You want to build around that.
  • Now add your 3 white round cheeses in the center. These will be the witch faces.
  • Add the ingredients for the hair and dresses for each (see ingredients description).
  • For the witch eyes I used a black edible marker or you could use peppercorns or sliced olives.  For the mouths I used cut out pieces of strawberry.
  • If using Halloween cookie cutters add food to those like nuts and berries.
  • Fill in empty spots with additional fall themed food.
  • Then add candy eyeballs to things like sliced sausage to look like a monster or snake.
  • Lastly, add alphabet cookies and spell out "Hocus Pocus" and arrange in the center.
  • Serve with small spoons and serving knives if needed and enjoy your spooky masterpiece!

The best thing about charcuterie is it can be completely customized to what you have available and what food and flavors you like.

I stick with a few cheeses, 2-3 sliced or rolled meats, and an assortment of nuts, fruits, and sweets to fit the theme and flavors. 

Start by laying out your bowls/cups, cookie cutters and decor on the tray. You want to build around that.

Now add your 3 white round cheeses in the center. I used brie, goat, and mozzarella. 

These will be the witch faces.

Add the ingredients for the hair and dresses for each. 

Sarah- popcorn hair and pomegranate seeds or raspberries for her dress
Winnie- cheeseball hair and sliced kiwi and green apple dress
Mary- blackberry or blueberry hair and candy corn dress

If using Halloween cookie cutters add food to those like nuts and berries. I had a black cat cookies cutter and a BOO shaped cookie cutter. 

Fill in empty spots with additional fall themed food.

I love the mini chocolate pumpkins I used (from Aldi), the ghost peeps, and the witch hat cookies are simply striped chocolate cookies with a slightly melted Hershey’s kiss on top!

Then add candy eyeballs to things like sliced sausage to look like a monster or snake.

For the witch eyes I used a black edible marker or you could use peppercorns or sliced olives. 

For the mouths I used cut out pieces of strawberry.

Lastly, add alphabet cookies and spell out “Hocus Pocus” and arrange in the center. 

Be sure to add toothpicks, small spoons, and cheese knives if needed. 

All done and ready to serve.

I put a spell on you and now you’re mine!

After cruising down Route 66 last week we decided to make a pit stop for lunch at this one of a kind spot located on Kingsley Air Field: 🛩️ Hangar Kafe. 
We watched planes take off, pet the friendly local pups, checked out the vintage cars on display, and then went inside the cozy themed restaurant and  enjoyed a tasty home-cooked diner style meal. Highly recommend checking them out! 
Bonus: skydiving and hot air balloon rides are offered next door!
