I mean, can I get more modern Pinterest-y here folks?! This year for all of my Halloween treats and goodies I decided to do modern ideas since they are frankly just easier than vintage. I happened to come across the design of a charcuterie board and lost my mind over the artfulness of the random yet balanced layout. I decided that making a Halloween version was going to be my big "Dun Dun Da Daaa!" for this season.
Like the nerd that I am, I "researched" and studied what was a successful vs. unsuccessful look (to me at least). Unsuccessful looks like small groupings of like items symmetrically placed around the tray, no focal point. A successful look has movement and groupings with varying amounts, along with three items taking the most attention and smaller items as filler.
I also noticed that some boards have little bowls or containers placed about, so I added into mine a ceramic ghost dish and a mini plastic coffin.
The items I used for the primary parts are Pretzel Webs, Pretzel Skulls, and Brownie Vampire Bites. For the filler bits I have candy corn, candy cornish pumpkins, peanuts, gummy worms, reese's franken-peanut butter cups, and reese's pieces.
I am pretty stoked that it all came together with the look I was going for.
I served it as the 'dead-sert" for us to graze upon Halloween....and for the days that follow since it was so packed out!
