    Get into the halloween spirit with Winifred, Sarah and Mary featured on this enchanting Hocus Pocus charcuterie board. Your favorite trio of witches make the best appetizer for spooky gatherings and halloween parties. This bewitching board is actually quite simple to put together too!

    Hocus Pocus Charcuterie Board

    When the leaves start to fall and the air turns chilly, theres nothing better than gathering your friends and family for a halloween get together. Inspired by the movie magic of Hocus Pocus, this charcuterie board brings an element of theatrical fun to your celebration. Not only is it fun to look at, but it's also packed with delicious foods that leave everyone reaching for seconds.

    Why you'll love this halloween charcuterie board

    • Inspired by the best: While I love a classic fall charcuterie board, this board is inspired by the movie Hocus Pocus. One of the best halloween movies in my opinion!
    • There's something for everyone: When it comes to charcuterie boards, you can add or omit any ingredients to ensure there's something for everyone, even the picky eaters!
    • It couldn't be easier: Charcuterie is one of the easiest ways to feed a large group of people. Simply throw everything onto a wooden board and call it a day.
    • The versatility: Similar to a fun thanksgiving charcuterie board, this Hocus Pocus board can be tailored to your preferences and served with different halloween mocktails.

    What you'll need

    • Cheese: One brie cheese wheel, two Boursin cheese wheels, white cheese cubes, and a variety of additional cheeses such as goat cheese, parmesan, and blue cheese.
    • Fruit: Blackberries, apples, green grapes, pomegranate, figs, dates, etc.
    • Meat: Dry salami, cured chorizo, or cured wagyu beef.
    • Olives: Black or green olives as fillers.
    • Honey: Pairs perfectly with brie and fresh berries.
    • Crackers: Gluten-free crackers or your favorite type of crackers.
    • Nuts: Pecans, cashews, almonds, pistachios, etc.
    • Black Icing: For the details on the Sanderson sisters.
    • Red Pepper: For the lips.
    • Other: I love adding sweet and savory halloween chex mix or chocolate halloween candy bark for a homemade touch.

    Can I make a smaller version of this board?

    Absolutely! If you're not serving a large group of people, adjust the quantities of ingredients to make a smaller version. Look for smaller brie and cheese rounds at your local grocery store for a mini Hocus Pocus board—great for a date night movie marathon.

    How to make a halloween charcuterie board

    Say cheese: On a medium cutting board, place the brie in the middle of the wooden board with the other cheese wheels on each side.

    The hair: For Winifred's hair, roll pepperoni slices and place them into the right and left sides of the brie wheel. Using blackberries and the white cheese cubes, arrange Mary's "hair" on top of one of the small Boursin wheels and Sarah's "hair" on the other small Boursin cheese wheel.

    Details: Use the black icing to draw eyes on the cheese wheels and cut a red pepper for the lips. The witch sisters will be the focal point of the entire board.

    Personalize and arrange: Place the rest of the food items around the board however you'd like. Start with the bigger items then fill in the empty spaces. Feel free to add more festive treats that aren't mentioned in the recipe card.

    Pro tip: Small cups are especially great for berries or dips so they don't get your other board ingredients soggy.

    Can I prepare this board in advance?

    Yes, you can prepare most ingredients in advance, but assemble the board closer to serving time to preserve freshness. Cover the prepped ingredients or store in an airtight container and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.

    What's the best way to store leftover charcuterie?

    Leftover meats, cheeses, and fruits can be stored in an airtight container or ziplock baggie in the fridge. Consume leftovers 2-3 days after for the freshest taste.

    Expert charcuterie tips

    Layer flavors and textures: When arranging a charcuterie board, it's best to place soft foods next to crunchy foods, savory foods next to sweet foods, and mix/match different shapes and colors. This not only gives the board depth, but it's an easy way to make it look professional.

    Use seasonal foods and garnishes: I love to use candy corn, candy pumpkins, or other halloween candy when arranging this board. It's such a fun way to bring in some holiday cheer. You can also use orange napkins, plastic pumpkins, or other halloween decor throughout the board.

    Serve with complementary drinks: Serve with a sparkling non-alcoholic drink like a mimosa, a copy cat Starbucks hot chocolate, or another fall friendly drink. There's nothing better than a fun drink to pair with savory snacks.

      I loved the variety on this charcuterie. There was something for everyone. It was the perfect amount of sweet, savory, crunchy, and creamy!
      It was easy to put together but came out looking like a master piece!
      This will be a regular at our yearly Halloween party.
