Step-by-Step Instructions for Halloween Cheese Board
  1. Select a large wooden or slate board as your canvas. Place the sharp or smoked cheddar and wine-soaked cheddar in the center.
  2. Surround the cheese with generously sliced dry cured Spanish chorizo, salami, and prosciutto, fanning them out creatively.
  3. Scatter green apple slices and black grapes around the cheese and meats, then add mini pretzels and a variety of crackers.
  4. Place the pub cheese in a small bowl next to the mini pretzels. Add pumpkin seeds and okra snacks around the board.
  5. Place pimento olives in small bowls that mimic eyeballs and introduce Halloween candy around the board.
  6. Finish by scattering cheese knives and cocktail forks for easy serving.
