Trick or Treat Board

A sweet and spooky spread for Halloween
Fallin’ For Cheese Board by Nashville Cheese Gal
Halloween is here! We’ve created a colorful board that’s stacked with the three essentials: chocolate, candy, and of course, cheese. Featuring sweet and savory favorites like Grafton Village cheddar and creamy Epoisses, this party platter is the ultimate holiday centerpiece. For the chocolate portion, we selected some crunchy almond bites and a classic dark chocolate bar, which pair perfectly with a dollop of rich Amarena cherries and sweet preserved pumpkin. For our version, we’ve chosen candy corn as the garnish of choice, but this exclusive Halloween board is a great base for any candy that inspires some spooky snacking.

Prep

  1. Carve out the insides of a mini pumpkin.
  2. Partially slice the Grafton Cheddar, leaving 1/2 the brick intact.
  3. Fully chunk the Mimolette
  4. Triangle cut the Bay Blue.
  5. Break the Pralus chocolate bar into jagged pieces.

Assembly

  • On a round board, place two empty jars 2 inches in from the edge of the board at the 1 o’clock and 7 o’clock positions, and place a hollowed-out mini pumpkin 2-3 inches to the right of the bottom jar.
  • In a curved line down the center of the board, between the jars and the pumpkin, create an S-shape with the chunked mimolette, stretching from the top edge to the bottom. Toward the top of the S on the left side, place the Epoisses. From the 12 o’clock to the 1 o’clock position on the edge of the board, place the Grafton Cheddar Brick and sliced pieces. From the 7 o’clock to the 8 o’clock position on the edge of the board, create a neat line of the Bay Blue triangles.
  • Pile the Tart Cherry, Cacao Nib & Almond Crisps along the left side of the mimolette in the same S-shape, and pile the Rip Rap Seeded Crackers along the right side in the same pattern. Underneath the Epoisses and above the pumpkin, create two neat piles of Red Bear salami.
  • Fill the space between the bottom jar and the Bay Blue with the chunks of Pralus chocolate, and fill the space between the top jar and the salami with the Piedras de Chocolate.
  • Fill the two jars with Black Cherry Confit, and fill the empty pumpkin with Apple Butter.
  • Fill the remaining space on the board with candy corns, blackberries, fresh greens, or a candy or fruit garnish of your choice.
