How to Create a Halloween Popcorn Charcuterie Board
Creating your own Halloween Popcorn Charcuterie Board is simple, and you can customize it with your favorite treats. Here’s how I put together the board featured in the photo using delicious popcorn varieties from The Popcorn Factory.
Ingredients:
- The Popcorn Factory’s Gourmet Popcorn Flavors: I used The Popcorn Factory’s Caramel Popcorn for a rich, buttery sweetness, Cheddar Popcorn for a savory kick, their festive Kaleidoscope Popcorn to add a pop of color to the board, and of course their Chocolate Popcorn. I also added their Cookies N’ Cream flavor – and I must say, it’s probably my favorite. These flavors pair perfectly with the sweet and salty elements of the charcuterie board.
- Halloween Candy: No Halloween charcuterie board is complete without some festive candy. I added candy corn (a classic!), mini chocolate bars, and peanut butter cups.
- Gummy Candies: To up the spooky factor, include Halloween-themed gummy candies like gummy worms or vampire teeth.
- Marshmallow Peeps: These Frankenstein Peeps are not only delicious but also add a whimsical Halloween character to the board.
- Pretzels & Snack Mixes: Savory elements like seasoned pretzels or a crunchy snack mix help balance out the sweetness.
- Decorative Elements: Edible eyeballs, candy bones, and plastic spiders make perfect decorations for the ultimate creepy vibe.
Instructions:
- Choose Your Base: Start with a large tray or shallow box to display your treats. I used a coffin-shaped container for an added Halloween touch!
- Arrange The Popcorn Factory’s Flavors: Place the Caramel Popcorn, Cheddar Popcorn, Chocolate Popcorn, Cookies N’ Cream Popcorn and Kaleidoscope Popcorn in separate sections around the board. The caramel popcorn adds a rich sweetness, while the cheddar balances it with a sharp, savory flavor. The Kaleidoscope Popcorn ties it all together with its vibrant colors and subtle sweetness.
- Add the Candy: Fill small bowls with candy corn and place them around the board. Scatter mini chocolate bars and peanut butter cups in clusters for variety.
- Add the Spooky Elements: Place Frankenstein Peeps and gummy worms in between the popcorn sections to create visual breaks. Use plastic eyeballs and spiders to enhance the Halloween theme.
- Finish with Savory Additions: Fill the remaining spaces with seasoned pretzels or a salty snack mix to round out the flavors.
