Halloween entertaining just got a gourmet twist. This year, skip the candy bowl and create a Halloween charcuterie board that celebrates the cozy flavors of fall. With Raven’s Nest small-batch butters, Garden Party Mix, and signature Mulling Spices, you can craft a spread that’s festive, flavorful, and unforgettable.
Spooky Meets Sophisticated
An elevated Halloween charcuterie board blends sweet, savory, and seasonal flavors for the ultimate fall gathering. Start with a base of cheeses—creamy brie, sharp cheddar, or tangy blue cheese—and add a mix of cured meats, crackers, nuts, and seasonal fruits.
The real stars of the board are Raven’s Nest Pumpkin Butter and Apple Butter, each bringing warmth and depth to every bite:
-
Pumpkin Butter Dip: A fall favorite made with Raven’s Nest Pumpkin Butter, perfect served with green apple slices and ginger snaps for a balance of tart, sweet, and spiced flavor. View the full recipe >
- Apple Butter with Goat Cheese: Spread creamy goat cheese on crackers or crostini and top with Raven’s Nest Apple Butter for a simple yet elegant bite that’s both sweet and savory.
Add a Fun Twist: Fall Pineapple Cheese Ball
Add a playful and festive touch with the Fall Pineapple Cheese Ball, shaped like a pumpkin and made using Raven’s Nest Garden Party Mix.
Once formed, roll it in Everything Bagel seasoning for a flavorful, textured coating that adds a hint of crunch and savory depth. It’s a sweet-and-savory showstopper that doubles as a centerpiece for your Halloween table. View the full recipe >
