What is a Hocus Pocus Charcuterie Board?

If you have never heard of the movie Hocus Pocus, then I have TWO things that you need to do. First, you must go and watch the movie. The Sanderson Sisters are classic and iconic witches for the month of October, and you MUST become acquainted with them. After you watch the movie THEN, you much make this Hocus Pocus charcuterie board. This charcuterie board is filled with all sorts of goodies, both savory and sweet, that will have you debating whether or not you devour everything in sight or preserve it all because it looks so perfect! Have a viewing party and make this board for all of your guests, and your party will be the talk of the town. This is the perfect board with Winifred’s bright red hair and the sister’s classic facial expressions… You may just have to make this every year and add a new tradition to your Halloween lineup!

What Meat and Cheeses Do I Need

The very first step on this Hocus Pocus charcuterie board is the cheeses for the three witches’ heads. These will anchor the entire board together, and it’s the whole reason that it’s even made! Besides the main wheels in the center, you will want to pick out a variety of cheeses and meats from your local grocery store. I always like to pick different colors and textures so that I don’t have the same two kinds on my board. For this recipe, I used the following meat and cheeses:

Brie Wheels: These are for the Sanderson Sister heads. Bellavitano Merlot Cheese: Get the kind that has the dark purple top. Cheese Sticks: These are used for Sarah’s hair (the blonde)Uncured Pepperoni: You MUST do this pepperoni because it makes the perfect hair for Winifred!

Feel free to add any additional cheeses or meats onto the board that you like. Some others that I like are Gruyere, cheddar, or a hard cheese like Parmigiano Reggiano. For meats, I also love using prosciutto di parma or Italian dry salami. Add in as much or little as you would like. It’s a great way to add different shapes and colors.

What Nuts and Fruit Should I Use?

After I have laid out the three main pieces in the center of this Hocus Pocus charcuterie board, then I start to build around it with the fruit. I do the fruit next because Mary’s hair is made from blackberries! I also made sure to have little pockets of pumpkin seeds on the board first so that they could fill in any empty spaces underneath the other ingredients.

Blackberries: These make the absolute perfect hair for Mary! Grapes: I love the purple color of the grapes to go with any Halloween charcuterie board. Blueberries: These almost look black, and their size is small but still have a little bit of texture. Dried Mango: The mangos bring in classic Halloween orange color. Figs: The figs bring in a fantastic texture and different look than the other foods on this charcuterie board. Strawberries: I cut these in half and leave the stems on so that they are easier to eat. Pumpkin Seeds: I like to sprinkle these on the board very first. Pistachios: You can put these on with or without the shells, whichever look you prefer!

Cookies, Crackers, and Candy… Oh My!

I know that traditional charcuterie boards have only meat and cheese, but I love to add spooky snacks that I know that my kids love too! Especially on a board that is celebrating such a fun Halloween movie. You need some delicious sweets to eat while you watch! Here is what I used on this board to make things stand out in color, texture, and of course… taste!
