Halloween Inspired Charcuterie Board
I am back with another charcuterie board but this time and I have wanted to do a smaller Halloween theme for so long but have never gotten around to doing it. But this is the year, it is time! If you have been around, you might remember the HUGE Halloween Charcuterie Board that I did a few years ago- that thing covered my entire kitchen island and it might have been one of my favorite projects ever! For this board I wanted it to have spooky elements but not gross because that’s really not my style at all!
Now let’s take all these ingredients and make something really cool!
WHAT I USED!
Moon drop grapes
Pomegranate Seeds
White aged cheddar
Blue cheese
Blueberry and cinnamon coated goat cheese
Mini Brie Wheels
Mike’s Hot Honey
Milk chocolate covered almonds
Merlot Bellavitano cheese
Almonds, dried cranberries and dark chocolate mix
Herb Coated Salami
Prosciutto
I also added in these little skulls that came in a pack from Target and the bag was secured with the even littler skulls that added a fun touch! Lastly, the spiders were a fun addition and I got those in a bag with some fake spiderweb decor which was also from Target. You can shop the skulls here and the spiders here!
The star of the show though was the CUTEST charcuterie board that I grabbed! I literally couldn’t walk away without this coffin charcuterie board. I liked that I could use it for a cheese board but it also doubles as home decor! After I got done with making the charcuterie board I put it up against the wall in front of an outlet in the kitchen and put the skull candle and a pumpkin in front of it for decoration!

SEPTEMBER FAVORITE FIVE
| DECORATIVE BATS FROM AMAZON |
I’m sure that you have seen these everywhere on Instagram and Tiktok but they are SO easy to decorate with and they really have that minimal Halloween vibe. We used these in our apartment in Boston and they looked so awesome! I will mention to NOT use the sticky tack that they give you because it will absolutely ruin your walls.. trust me, we know from experience! Instead, just use a little piece of tape and it will work just the same!
| OUR VINYL SHELVES |
We have been working on this project for a while now and it’s nowhere near done but the shelves that we bought to create our vinyl wall in our not-so-formal living room have been so great and we love the look of the acrylic shelves on the black wall! We obviously have many missing records, but eventually, this space will be a cool hang- spot! We plan to put a couple of funky chairs and a table for the record player under the records to have a little hang-out spot across from the daybed!
| SALTED HONEY CANDLE |
This candle is freakin DELISH. I love the color and style of the jar and will definitely reuse it when it runs out. I will also be sad when that happens but I feel like I am going to need to stock up because I never want this scent to go away! It’s a scent I have never smelled before but it’s fantastic!
| SHANIA TWAIN RECORD |
Like most people I know, I grew up listening to Shania and love that crap out of her. I found her record on Amazon and couldn’t press “place order” fast enough! The seller said it would take up to a month, but it came in just over a week, so I was impressed with that! This is “The Woman in Me” Record and it has ALL the good songs on it like Any Man of Mine, Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under, (If You're Not In It For Love) I'm Outta Here! and so many others!
| WYOMING TEE FROM TARGET |
I grabbed this tee when I did a Target try-on for you guys last month and I keep grabbing for it in my closet! It’s not as oversized as I am used to but I kind of like it! I like to pair it will the joggers that I got that day or if it is warmer I will just front-tuck it into some jean shorts! I got an XXL and I really like the fit of it. It is the Wild Fable Brand so the XXL is pretty normal for me, sizing-wise!

But that was just a random tangent, now onto the GOOD stuff! I rounded up fall and Halloween items from alllll over the internet to share with you guys! Literally everything from Etsy to Target to Baublebar to Pottery Barn and a little in between.
