Halloween Charcuterie Boards That’ll Steal The Show

These Halloween Charcuterie boards will make you the life of the party!

First, remember that for any good board, you’ll want a variety of colors, textures, and even heights.

• salami
• crackers
• grapes
• nuts
• olives

The rest is what makes each board unique below.

Family Spice uses fake webbing and decor to make this board fantastically creepy. I love how she carved tiny faces into the cucumbers to make them festive too.
