This Skeleton Charcuterie Board is the perfect centerpiece for your Halloween gathering filled with an assortment of meats, cheeses, fruits and snacks.
Since my spooky Halloween charcuterie board is so popular, I’ve decided to make another Halloween charcuterie platter. I got these skeletons off Amazon and thought what better way to display them then on a long rectangle charcuterie board.
Whether you call it a spookcuterie board, char-spookerie, charBOOterie or a morgue-asbord, your friends and family are going to be so impressed with this fun addition to your Halloween party.

Spookcuterie Board Ingredients
For your Halloween grazing board you can use whatever ingredients you’d like. This is what I used:
- Meats: Bite size dry salami, black pepper salami, herbs and spices salami and classic salami.
- Cheeses: Cheddar cubes, pepper jack slices, swiss slices, Colby jack slices and cranberry cinnamon goat cheese.
- Snacks: Pumpkin spice yogurt covered pretzels, mini pumpkin chocolates and pumpkin biscotti, trail mix with peanut butter cups.
- Fruits: Red seedless grapes, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, chocolate covered blood splatter strawberries.
- Dip: Pumpkin butter.
- Crackers: Fig and black sesame artisan crisp crackers.
How to Assemble a Skeleton Charcuterie Board
Before you begin wash the skeleton, charcuterie board and fruits.
Place your skeleton in the middle of the board and arrange the arms and legs to how you’d like it.
Add the cranberry cinnamon goat cheese inside the rib cage to represent the guts or heart.
Add the bowls for dips, then fill in the rest of the board with meats, cheeses, fruits, snacks, crackers, chocolates, etc.
Once the entire board is covered, it’s ready to serve. Add a Halloween or black table cloth on the table and some Halloween decorations such as fake plastic spiders if you’d like.
Don’t forget the servings utensils for the food such as tongs, forks or cheese spreader!
Charcuterie Board Tips
- Use dark or Halloween colors to stay on theme.
- Use cookie cutters to make Halloween shapes with the cheese slices.
- I used this long rectangle charcuterie board to fit the length of the skeleton. You can use any size of skeleton and grazing board you’d like.
- For the adults, red wine would be the perfect pairing!
- Add whatever assortment of foods you and your guests like.
Storing Leftovers
Place leftovers in separate containers or Ziploc bags and place refrigerated items in fridge and non-frigerated items in the pantry. Consume refrigerated items within a few days.
