Spooky Snack Table

November 9, 2023 Andrea LeTard

This is SUCH a showstopper at Halloween and can be set up anywhere! It looks great spread out on a dining room table but you could also use your kitchen island, buffet, or coffee table. Be creative and have fun! It’s such a beautiful, spooky spread!

What you need:

Roll of butcher paper - can find on Amazon

Black marker

2-3 candelabras

Candles for candelabras and extra for the table

Skull decor - I like ceramic, found at Michael’s

Skull arms - I found mine at Dollar Tree

Greenery - from your backyard or store-bought

Toothpicks

Black Napkins

6-7 cheeses

5-6 meats (mix of sausages and deli meats)

4-5 types of crackers

2-3 types of cookies

Spooky colored fruit and veggies (grapes, blackberries, figs, etc.)

How To:

Roll the butcher paper down the middle of your table until it fits. Tuck it in and tape the ends. Place the candelabras evenly down the middle of the butcher paper. Add the candles to them. Take half your decor (skulls, skull arms, candles, whatever you have) and evenly scatter around the butcher paper. Arrange the cheeses, meats, crackers, cookies, and fruits all over the butcher paper by piling some, spreading some, layering some. Do them close together but if there are spaces, don’t worry. You will fill the gaps in with the extra decor and greenery. Label each cheese and meat as you put it down by using the black marker right on the butcher paper. Once all the food is down, fill in gaps with decor and greenery. Place toothpicks in several small bowls and place on different parts of the table so no matter where someone is standing, they can get to them. Place napkins on all the corners. Voila! You have a spooky snack table!
