Creating the Perfect Halloween Grazing Board

Thank you to Walmart+ for sponsoring today’s post! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

October is hands down my favorite month of the year: mainly because it’s spooky season. 

Hayrides, decorating with skeletons, stocking up on candy — I am all about it. Before 2020, I spent most of the month of October traveling, but during my time at home a couple of years ago, I could lean in and take advantage of almost everything the Halloween season had to offer. So much so that it inspired a good chunk of my book. 

Don’t let the Thanksgiving hype overshadow this holiday — Halloween is a big celebration for the foodies in your life. Today, I’m teaming up with Walmart+ and showing you how to create the perfect Halloween grazing board for your spooky festivities.

You don’t have to spend a fortune to create a gorgeous Halloween grazing board. I saved time and money using Walmart Brands for this Halloween grazing board. Walmart offers a variety of keto, vegan, and organic products for a low price, and I didn’t have to sacrifice quality for savings!

Regarding saving time, you can use Walmart+’s Online pickup and delivery if you don’t have time to grocery shop. You can get same-day delivery to your home or coordinate an online pickup if you have time to drive to the store. I’m not a fan of wandering around aimlessly, shopping in a store, and I’m proud to report that I’ve saved hundreds of hours with my Walmart+ membership over the years.

Halloween Grazing Board Tips & Tricks

Mix Sweet & Savory

When it comes to Halloween food, we naturally think of candy. However, not everyone has a sweet tooth — or the stomach tolerance for ingesting that many sweets.

When hosting, I love to offer my guests a mix of sweet and savory items. For the savory piece of this grazing board, I added some simple cheeses, pretzels, olives, and prosciutto. 

Another Kind of Sweet

We’re bound to acquire a lot of candy every Halloween, so why not mix up your grazing board? Instead of your traditional candy corn & candy bars, I opted for sweet pastries, cookies, and elevated chocolates for this grazing board. I’m also a big fan of fruit, and the strawberries and grapes offer a great mix of tart and sweet.

Have Fun With Spooky Decor

Now it’s time to make your grazing board a little spooky! I added a few cobweb and mini skull accents to the table, and here are some edible decor accents from Walmart you can incorporate as well:

• Great Value Spooky Halloween Candy Decorating Kit
• Great Value Halloween 6-Cell Sprinkles Mix
• Great Value Eyeball Sprinkle Mix
• Great Value Ghostly Marshmallow
• Great Value Halloween Pretzel Dipping Kit
