Ingredients:

  • 8 oz (225g) Sharp Cheddar
  • 8 oz (225g) Creamy Brie
  • 6 oz (170g) Salami
  • 4 oz (115g) Prosciutto
  • 1 cup (150g) Candy Corn
  • 8 oz (225g) Dark chocolate pretzels
  • 1 cup (150g) Gummy worms
  • 1 cup (150g) Orange-colored M&Ms
  • 1 cup (150g) Red grapes
  • 1 cup (150g) Blueberries

  • 4 oz (115g) Pretzel sticks
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Hummus
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Cream cheese dip

Instructions:

  1. Position the ramekins of hummus and cream cheese dip at opposite ends of the board to create a diagonal balance and establish anchor points.
  2. Use cookie cutters to shape the cheddar into pumpkins and place them in clusters of three around the dip bowls.
  3. Fold the salami into tight circles (roses), ribbon the prosciutto, and add the Creamy Brie, arranging them near the cheese clusters.
  4. Create three distinct clusters of multi-grain crackers and pretzel sticks to provide structural boundaries and varied texture.
  5. Fill the remaining gaps with small clusters of red grapes, blueberries, baby carrots, and ghost-shaped cucumber slices.
  6. Scatter candy corn, dark chocolate pretzels, gummy worms, and orange M&Ms across the board, ensuring a balance between sweet and savory zones.
