    Gone are the days of traditional meat and cheese platters – now it’s all about incorporating sweet treats into your charcuterie spread. A candy charcuterie board allows you to showcase your favorite spooky treats in an eye-catching way. From gummy worms, pumpkin cookies, chocolate bars and colorful licorice, the possibilities are endless.

    To make a truly impressive Halloween candy charcuterie board, start by selecting candies that match the festive color palette. Think orange, black, green, purple and bright colors such as blue licorice laces, green gummy frogs, and purple M&M’s. By incorporating these iconic Halloween colors onto your board, you’ll create a visually stunning display that captures the spirit of the season.

    When arranging your candies on the board, let your creativity run wild! Play around with different shapes, sizes, and textures to add visual interest. Place larger items like chocolate bars or cookies as focal points while filling in any gaps with smaller treats such as M&M’s, candy corn Autumn mix or pumpkin pretzels.

    What is a Halloween Candy Charcuterie Board?

    While a charcuterie board consists of a variety of foods such as meats, cheese and crackers, a candy board consists of candy and cookies. Some may say that this is not a charcuterie board, but you can call it whatever you would like. Halloween dessert board, Halloween candy board or Halloween candy charcuterie board. They’re all filled with delicious treats!

    How to Make a Halloween Candy Board

    To get started in making a Halloween candy board, you must first get a charcuterie board. I used a rectangle cutting board but there are lots of other charcuterie boards to choose from in various sizes.

    First start with your center piece. We used the green sandwich cookies and M&M’s in bowls as our center piece.

    Then you build your candy board around the center piece till you get to the edge of the board on all sides.

    Add some Halloween props and decorations and you have the perfect center piece for a Halloween party!
