Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag of carrots
- 1 red bell pepper
- ½ to 1lb white cheese, thick-cut sliced
- ½ to 1lb yellow cheese, thick-cut sliced
- 2 large yams
- 1 tbsp cream cheese
Not Halloweenified, but other items that I use for killer boards:
- 1 lb prosciutto
- 1 lb salami, thinly sliced
- 1 lb assorted olives
- 4 to 6 oz Marcona almonds
- 8 oz pickled green beans
- Popcorn or corn nuts
Instructions
For the Carrot “Fingers”:
- Peel and cut each about 3 inches from the tip.
- Carve out a small “shelf” on each carrot tip to make a secure spot for the red pepper fingernail.
- Slice the red bell pepper to size in chunks to fit on the carrot finger. You can use a dollop of cream cheese, to secure the “nail” in place.
For the Cheese Ghosts/Bats & Sweet Potato Pumpkins:
- Use Halloween cookie cutters to carve out cheesy ghosts and bats (Miceli Dairy mozzarella cheese for the ghosts, and pumpkins, bats, moons and leaves made from Middlefield Original Cheese Company Gouda, cheddar and Colby. If ya’ll find black cheese, let a girl know!).
- Using the same method, slice the yams into ½-inch thick slices, and using the pumpkin cookie cutter, imprint the design to the sweet potato.
