Cheese

Whether you like Cheddar or think Feta is bett-a, grab a few of your faves from Amazon Grocery. Blocks of cheese - like this Colby Jack cheese - are great to use with the cookie cutters

Crackers

It’s always great to have a variety of crackers, like these Water Crackers, some fancy Cranberry and Pumpkin Seed Crisps, and classic Wheat Thins so there’s something for everyone to love to snack on!

Baguette

In addition to crackers, it’s also nice to have some type of bread as well. A baguette is a great go-to since it’s delicious whether it’s fresh or heated up, and looks great sliced and scattered across your charcuterie board. 

Meats

Get ready to meet all of the amazing meat options you have! You can get Prosciutto, Genoa Salami, Chorizo, Pepperoni and truly so much more. Just browse through Amazon Fresh and find what makes your mouth water!

Candy

It obviously wouldn’t be a Halloween charcuterie board without a bit of candy. These pumpkin-shaped York Peppermint Patties are adorable, as well as these Halloween Gummies - and you can just sprinkle them on top of the board once you’re done adding everything else!
