Healthy Halloween Charcuterie Board
Fall is the time of the year for fun activities, pumpkin recipes and parties. Always included in these fall festivities are tasty and healthy charcuterie boards. This time I will be sharing my healthy halloween charcuterie board. It is fun and easy to make.
This healthy board is so much fun to make and can be made with many different substitutions. I like limited candy so I just chose some basic Halloween candy. Other suggestions to add on this cheese board are: chocolate covered almonds, chocolate covered raisins, additional cheese varieties, more meats, fresh fruits, or fresh mini pumpkins.

How Much Does A Charcuterie Board Cost Per Person?
This all depends on how much meat, cheese and dips that you use. I don’t use much meat because I prefer all the other items even though charcuterie is really all about the meat. This is the definition from wiki: Charcuterie is a French term for a branch of cooking devoted to prepared meat products, such as bacon, ham, sausage, terrines, galantines, ballotines, pâtés, and confit, primarily from pork. Here’s a breakdown:
- 8oz Jar Olives of Choice=$2.99
- 8-10 Large Sliced Genoa Salami and Provolone Tray=$3.99
- Sharp Cheddar Cracker Cuts=$4.49
- 4oz Breakfast Brie Cheese=$3.99
- 6oz Gouda Cheese=$3.40
- Sweet Potato Crackers=$1.99
- Tomato & Basil Dip=$1.99
- Salsa=$3.99
- Cashews=$7.99
- Mini Cheese Crackers=$1.99
- Cheese Puffs=$1.99
- Sweet Potato Chips=$2.29
- Black Licorice=$1.99
- Dried Apricots=$3.99
- Clementines=$3.29
- Orange Bell Pepper=$1.99
- Pumpkin Decoration=$4.99
- Halloween Candy=$7.99
Total = $65.33
About $10/person with plenty of leftover cashews, chips, crackers, candy,cheese and fruit. The leftover ingredients can be used to make another board.

Notes
Hi Alyse
Charcuterie is one of my favourite ways to eat – I just love the different combinations of food and the opportunity to create something I particularly like. In fact, on Friday nights it is not uncommon for me to create my own little charcuterie treat as dinner, which I enjoy whilst watching a movie.
You’ve shared some amazing ideas here, thank you. I never thought of adding licorice to a charcuterie, that’s about to change. ?
Thank you once again.
Hi Louise! Great to hear! Thanks for stopping by!
Hey, Alyse, I enjoyed your article about healthy Halloween charcuterie board. Mmmhm so delicious! You are right, autumn is really the right time for feasts and fun and pumpkin is indispensable in all autumn recipes.
By the way, I really like all pumpkin dishes especially roasted pumpkin and pumpkin pie. The recipe for healthy Halloween charcuterie is great! It is fast and gives an effect of extremely rich table. Although not all the listed ingredients are in stores in my country, I will add some substitutes, but I will try to make it similar.
This is great for all kinds of parties and not just for Halloween. Thank you for showing how to make this flesh flower, it is beautiful. I can’t wait to try it!

Hello Alyse,
Wow! This is the first time I’ve heard and seen about Charcuterie Boards. Well, I guess maybe we have different cultures about celebrating Halloween in the Philippines. But this is very interesting and I would love to try this for my kids. I am already making a list of ingredients and some substitutions.
