Instructions
Prep Skull Center Piece
- Wash plastic skull.
- Place a platter or cutting board on flat surface.
- Wrap skull with Prosciutto on center of board/platter.*Note – if making ahead of time, wrap the prosciutto skull in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator. The meat will shrink and darken in color if left in open air.
Wash & Prep Food
- Wash the fruit and slice your apples.
- Slice the meat and cheese to desired size.
- Put candy in bowl.
Build Charcuterie Platter Presentation
- Group each ingredient around the skull. Space out colorful ingredients to give a balanced, colorful board. I.E. don't put all colorful items on one side and crackers on the other; mix colorful with less-colorful ingredients.
Tips to Go Full Dad Mode with your Charcuterie Skull
- Light it up! We chose a skull that lit up for an extra “wow factor.”
- Choose food you like. You can play around with various types of food for your charcuterie board, whatever you’re into.
- Post to Insta. It just looks cool, if you can’t post this on Halloween what can you post?
