Step by Step Photos

1. Place 3 small wheels of brie on your serving board, leaving enough space around each one for hair, bodies, and extra snacks. Use cheese curds for Sarah’s blonde hair, rolled pepperoni slices for Winifred’s red curls, and blackberries for Mary’s dark hair.
2. Draw the faces directly onto the brie using a black edible marker. Add the lips with red cookie icing, making sure the icing bottle has a narrow tip so the details are easier to control.
3. Create the sisters’ outfits with fruit and vegetables. Use berries for Sarah, blackberries and sliced mini cucumbers for Winifred, and clementine slices for Mary. Add sliced bell peppers around the outfits to create capes, then place a few crisscrossed pepper slices over the bodies to suggest corset details. Slice open a fresh pea pod and use it as Winifred’s necklace.
4. Finish the Halloween charcuterie board by filling empty spaces with crackers, pretzels, nuts, cheese, grapes, honey, and other favorite snacks. Add three small witch broomsticks made with thin wheat breadsticks and string cheese for a final themed touch.

FAQs and Expert Tips

• Shopping: Choose red cookie icing in a bottle with a narrow dispensing nozzle. This makes it much easier to draw small mouth details. A black edible marker is also important for adding eyes, brows, and other facial features.
• Substitutions: This Hocus Pocus charcuterie board is very forgiving. You can use strawberries instead of raspberries, grapes instead of blueberries or blackberries, kiwi or broccoli instead of mini cucumbers, and cubed white cheese instead of cheese curds.
• Prep: To make Winifred’s pepperoni hair, roll the slices and secure them with toothpicks. Build each side in a triangle shape, starting with two rolled slices, then three, increasing up to about six, and then decreasing again. For the broomsticks, cut half a string cheese with kitchen shears so it looks like broom bristles. Use a small knife to make a hole before inserting the breadstick, which helps prevent the breadstick from snapping. Tie an extra thin strand of string cheese around the top to look like broom binding.
• Storage: The snack board can be prepared in advance and stored covered or in a sealed container until serving. For the cleanest look, wait to draw the faces until just before guests arrive, because the edible marker and icing can bleed if they sit too long.
