Skeleton charcuterie board — *Spooky season skeleton charcuterie board*

I love to throw a fun Halloween party every year and I love making a themed charcuterie board. So, included in our spooky buffet should always be a festive Halloween charcuterie board. But, I make mine super simple so kids and adults alike will love it and you can throw it together last minute as well. Here’s how to make one yourself.

Gather your Halloween charcuterie board for kids supplies

Before you can start putting together you charcuterie board, you’re going to need a few supplies to make it just right. Here’s what I like to use:

3-foot poseable skeleton
Cookie sheet (18×13) or charcuterie serving tray (different sizes)
Charcuterie utensils, small bowls and accessories

Make sure you sanitize your skeleton really well with Clorox wipes since lots of different foods will be touching it. The skeleton adds a fun, spooky twist and is a fun way to make a spooky Halloween charcuterie board.

Cucumbers

Peppers

You’ll want to add a good variety of protein and substance to your charcuterie board, like meat and cheese. Here’s some ideas:

Skeleton bones sign with charcuterie board — *Easy Halloween charcuterie board for the Halloween season*

Arrange your charcuterie board in sections with veggies and fruit together, sweets together and meats and cheeses. You can also add a small bowl of jelly or ranch dip. Place the snacks all around the skeleton. I usually leave the head and the legs dangling off the ends of the cookie sheet. It’s so spooky and cute!

You can also put a cute sign next to the charcuterie that says, “Skeleton Bones” or something fun like that. This charcuterie board was part of my larger Halloween dinner buffet centerpiece. I laid down some spooky decorations to fill the empty spaces including a large orange table cloth, zombie hands, skeleton figurines, plastic spiders, skeleton hands, tea lights and skulls. It turned out so cute. Keep with a simple color scheme like black and orange (dark colors)
