Halloween Party Food Ideas for Adults

Halloween is almost here! Our plan is to have a bunch of friends over and make a big batch of chili. We highly recommend making our ultimate lamb chili if you are in need of a good recipe. If you’re not a fan of lamb, you can certainly sub in ground beef, turkey or chicken!

We might even whip up some Roasted Butternut Squash & Pumpkin Queso Dip and top off this Halloween spread with our Hallow-Rita cocktail.

BUT! The piece de resistance is this Deathly Hallows Halloween charcuterie board. We might have to give myself a high-five for this one! Seriously, isn’t it so festive?

The rats were our inspiration behind the whole spread. With cobwebs as a base and the RIP brie coffin, we couldn’t wait to serve this spooky charcuterie board!

What Cheeses Go Well Together on a Charcuterie Board?

When choosing cheeses for a charcuterie board, select a variety of flavors and textures. Try to include one from each family below when making your Halloween cheese board.

  • Aged cheese: cheddar, comte, gruyere, gouda
  • Firm cheese: parmesan, manchego, asiago, edam
  • Soft cheese: brie, burrata, goat, mascarpone, camembert
  • Blue cheese: gorgonzola, roquefort, marbled blue jack

And did you know you are supposed to bring cheeses to room temperature before serving in order to bring out their true flavor?
