Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 mozzarella cheese sticks
  • 1 can (2.25 oz) sliced black olives
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
  • 4 ounces salami or pepperoni
  • 4 ounces prosciutto or turkey slices
  • 1 cup assorted crackers
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber slices
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup red and green grapes
  • ½ cup candy corn or candy pumpkins
  • ½ cup chocolate-covered pretzels
  • ¼ cup mini marshmallows (optional)
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing
  • ¼ cup marinara sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey mustard
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)
  • Edible eyeballs (optional)
  • Orange and black sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Mummy Cheese Sticks: Unwrap all 6 mozzarella cheese sticks. Cut each stick in half crosswise to make 12 pieces. Place cream cheese in a small zip-top bag, snip off a tiny corner, and pipe two small dots onto each cheese piece for eyes. Press a sliced black olive onto each dot. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Savory Ingredients: Wash and dry all veggies. Slice cucumber into rounds (use a crinkle cutter if desired). Leave baby carrots whole. Halve cherry tomatoes if large. Roll salami slices into cylinders. Fold prosciutto into loose ribbons. Arrange crackers in a pile or fan.
  3. Prepare the Sweet Ingredients: Wash and dry grapes, leaving in small clusters. Place candy corn, chocolate-covered pretzels, and mini marshmallows in separate small bowls or directly on the board.
  4. Assemble the Board: Place small bowls of ranch dressing, marinara sauce, and honey mustard in the center or off to one side. Arrange mummy cheese sticks in a cluster near the dips. Fill in gaps with larger items (salami rolls, prosciutto ribbons, grape clusters), then add crackers, cucumber slices, baby carrots, and cherry tomatoes. Tuck in sweet items. Fill empty spaces with rosemary sprigs or extra olives.
  5. Final Touches: Sprinkle orange and black sprinkles over the sweet section if using. Add edible eyeballs. Serve immediately or cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. If refrigerating, take out 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Prep all ingredients ahead of time and assemble just before serving. Keep cheese sticks cold until assembly. For best results, use firm string cheese. The board is best served at room temperature.
