Ingredients
  

Board ingredients
  • 1 Black grapes and blackberries Use a mix for glossy dark color and texture.
  • 1 Sharp cheddar cubes Cut into bite-size cubes for easy grabbing.
  • 1 Brie wedge Serve at cool room temperature for a softer spreadable bite.
  • 1 Salami slices Fold or roll slightly to fit the board neatly.
  • 1 Crackers Choose sturdy crackers that don’t crumble easily under toppings.
  • 1 Pretzel sticks Add salty crunch and visual “sticks” around the cheeses.
  • 1 Candy eyeballs Scatter on at the end so they stay prominent.
  • 1 Dried apricots Add chewy pops between savory items.
  • 1 Dark chocolate squares Use small pieces so guests can pick up pieces easily.

Method
 

Build the board
  1. Place the brie in the center of a large board.
  2. Arrange the salami in rows and the cheddar in a cluster.
  3. Fill gaps with crackers, pretzels, and apricots.
  4. Scatter blackberries and grapes.
  5. Add chocolate and candy eyes.

Notes

Pro tip: Mix dark produce with crunchy and chewy items in alternating pockets so the board looks layered from across the table. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 24 hours; add the candy eyeballs right before serving for best appearance. This is naturally no-cook—if you need a dairy-light option, swap brie for a non-dairy cheese wedge and use the same arrangement.
