No Tricks, Just Treats: How to Build a Show-Stopping Halloween CharBOOterie Board

CharBOOterie by Bluewater Catering

Forget the boring bowls of candy. This Halloween, it’s all about the charBOOterie!

If you’re ready to wow your party guests (or just treat yourself), here’s how to craft a Halloween-themed charcuterie board that’s equal parts spooky, stylish, and delicious—built on a handcrafted board from Carraway Creations.

Why Go CharBOOterie?

Elevate your Halloween spread: Impress friends, family, and trick-or-treaters with a snack display that’s as stunning as it is scrumptious.

Endless creativity: Mix sweet, savory, and spooky elements—there are no rules, just fun.

Functional art: Our cutting and charcuterie boards are more than a serving surface—they’re a statement piece you’ll use long after the last ghost leaves.

Step 1: Pick Your Board

Start with the right foundation. Our handcrafted charcuterie boards are NSF food-safe, sanded to a buttery smooth finish, and built for serious style.

Choose from classic Black Walnut, bold Purpleheart, or a custom combo that fits your party theme. Need a showpiece? Ask about laser engraving or solid wood inlays for a personal touch.

Step 2: Gather Your Ghoulish Goodies

Mix up the flavors and the frights:

Cheeses: Brie “ghosts” (cut with cookie cutters), cheddar “pumpkins,” or a wheel of gouda with a spiderweb design (drawn with balsamic glaze).

Meats: Prosciutto “bandages,” salami “roses,” or mortadella “mummies.”

Fruits & Veggies: Black grapes, dried apricots, pomegranate seeds, and “witch finger” carrots.

Crunch: Charcoal crackers, pretzel “bones,” and pumpkin seeds.

Sweet Treats: Candy corn, chocolate eyeballs, marshmallow “ghosts,” and dark chocolate squares.

Extras: Olives (for “eyeballs”), pickled onions, or edible flowers for a pop of color.

Step 3: Assemble the Scare

Start with your largest items (cheese wheels, bowls for dips).

Layer in meats and cheeses, fanning them for texture and movement.

Fill gaps with fruits, nuts, and sweets.

Use small props—mini pumpkins, plastic spiders, or skeleton hands—for extra Halloween flair (just keep them food-safe).

Step 4: Serve with Style

Add a set of our handcrafted coasters for drinks.

Pair with a bold red wine or spiced cider.
