Ingredients
Pumpkins – Aren’t pumpkins mandatory for all fall-themed charcuterie board ideas? I can’t imagine a more iconic focal point for a fall harvest snack board!
French loaf – Store-bought or homemade, it’s totally up to you! If you want to really impress at autumn gatherings, swap out your loaf with a pumpkin-shaped bread!
Grilled olives, pickled cucumbers, and green pickled olives – No charcuterie board is complete without briny bites! Just make sure to drain them well, so they don’t add moisture to the fall snack board.
Cherry tomatoes – Add a nice pop of red, and they would easily round out any cheese board. You can also add fresh fall produce to this fall grazing board!
Grapes, apple, strawberries, plums, blueberries, dried apricots, and dried figs – We’re using fresh and dried fruits for a super abundant fall party board.
Mixed nuts – They’re great for munching and make excellent fillers for all autumn board ideas.
Cheddar cheese – Feel free to add an assortment of cheese to your fall snack platter!
Ham – Can’t serve a charcuterie board without deli meat. Get creative in arranging them!
Bran cookies, breadsticks, and oatmeal cookies – Assorted treats to round out fall food boards for parties. Feel free to sneak in homemade desserts like my crowd-favorite fizzy dark chocolate pumpkin truffles and sweet potato bites!
Ingredient Additions For Fall Charcuterie Board
Pumpkin cheese ball
The best thing about trying out fall snack board ideas like this is that the sky is the limit for how you can elevate it.
For example, you can make a quick pumpkin-shaped cheese ball using 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 ounce of ranch dressing mix, and 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
Mix them together, divide the mixture into 3 balls, refrigerate to help them firm up, and then roll them into more shredded cheddar cheese. Then, just shape them up to look like a pumpkin, draw on the ridges with a toothpick, and insert pretzels on each one to create the pumpkin stem!
Fall-inspired ingredients
Highlight autumn’s best flavors in this fall snack board! You can add pear slices, roasted pumpkin seeds, gingersnap cookies, fig jam, cranberry sauce, and candied pecans, just to name a few.
Add whatever you like to enjoy all those cozy seasonal flavors we look forward to every fall!
