Kids Halloween Candy Charcuterie Board.

Kids Halloween Candy Charcuterie Board

Charcuterie boards are a fun mix of food, candy, textures, and decoration.

I thought it would be fun to make one with my family’s favorite Halloween Candy.

Although there are a variety of ingredients and decor, this board was very simple to put together. It only costs between $20-$30 as well.

To save on money, I used items I had in my Halloween decor bin, a wood-rotating lazy susan that I’ve had for years, dishes in my kitchen, and a lot of food that I had on hand. 

I began by setting up the large items on the board like the ghost pan and the hand holding the glass globe, then I worked from inside out filling up the board with a variety of Halloween candy and some veggies and crackers.

I filled the ghost baking pan with Halloween candy pumpkins, candy corn, and the caramel apple marshmallow creme treats.

I cut up some celery and put the sticks as well as shredded carrots into the Frankenstein heads.

Although you can’t see them well, its a vase with a green Frankenstein head.

I used small ramekins to hold candy eyes,

(both gummy and hard),

sprinkles, 

pumpkin seeds,

and candy bats.

I put Peeps ghosts,

pumpkins,

and Frankensteins around the board.

I added Carmel Apple and Pumpkin Spice Werther’s Originals chewies on the board.

I scattered some popcorn around and filled a Halloween treat bowl with peach rings and Caramel Apple Pops.

The board also has some peeled cutie clementines split in half to look like pumpkins.

I bought Nerd candy corn which I put in a bowl and added some candy eyes that matched for a fun look.

There are also Cheez-It crackers, sugar snap peas, and

and gummy snakes.

Charcuterie boards often contain a few decorations on and around the board to go with the theme.

While not completely necessary, I think for a Kids Halloween board it was a fun addition.

The decorations that I placed on and around the board are as follows there are links in the supply list below. 

I put down a black piece of material for the base. I bought it at Walmart years ago for this Ninja Party. I’ve used it for a lot of things.

I find that keeping party supplies and reusing them for a variety of things really saves money!

Another decoration I’ve reused for a lot of parties is the treasure chest with bottles.

I filled some of these mini glass bottles with eyes, bats, and sprinkle candies.

I found the bat-corked bottle at a thrift store for $1.50 last year.

I filled it with bat sprinkles.

The candles, amber bottles with labels, and cauldron I had in my Halloween decor tote from last year’s Halloween witch-themed mantel.

How to make a Kids Halloween Candy Charcuterie Board Affordable

Although making a Charcuterie Board seems like a lot of work and expense, it is actually pretty simple and can be relatively affordable.

Kids Halloween Candy Charcuterie Board

I usually find food that is on sale and then work with it and whatever else I have in my fridge, pantry, and baking cabinet. 

For the decor, I use items that I’ve bought for previous holidays and/or parties. 

For this board, The gummies (peach rings, worms, and Peeps) were all on sale at Target for .80 each .74 cents with my red card. So, the five candy bags= $3.70 with a red card.

Target was having Halloween candy bags on sale for $3.00 each. With my Red Card, it made them $2.85 each. I bought the pumpkins, caramel apple suckers and mallow creme, candy corn, and Nerds candy corn for $2.85 ea= $14.25. Plus, I had a lot of candy left over that I’ll use later.

I got 2 packs of Sweet Toothfairy Halloween sprinkles on sale with a coupon from Michaels for $1.50 each (after Halloween next year). The candy is still good as sprinkles can last years.=$3.00

I got the Werther’s Originals from Dollar Tree=$2.50

The rest of the candy food, popcorn, veggies, and decor I pulled from my fridge and pantry and just made use of what we had on hand.

So, this Kids Halloween Candy Charcuterie Board and decor cost just under $25.00 out-of-pocket.

My kids were so excited about this board and loved eating off of it, it would be great for Halloween parties and October get-togethers.

I hope this post helps you put your own Kids Halloween Candy Charcuterie Board together.
