The S’mores Board: Embrace That Campfire Feel

Who says you need a campfire to enjoy s’mores? You can bring the outdoors inside with a s’mores charcuterie board—no firepit required.

What to Include:

  • Graham Crackers: Stick with the classic, or try honey or cinnamon for a twist.
  • Chocolate Bars: Mix it up with milk, dark, white chocolate, or even peanut butter cups.
  • Marshmallows: Regular, fun-shaped, or flavored marshmallows (pumpkin spice, anyone?).

Pro Tip: Roast marshmallows in the oven, on the stove, or in an air fryer. For a luxe touch, set up a mini indoor s’mores station with a flameless s’mores maker.

Add-Ons:

  • Fruit: Strawberries, raspberries, and banana slices balance the sweetness with a pop of freshness.
  • Nut Butter: Spread peanut butter, almond butter, or Nutella on your graham cracker for an extra indulgent bite.

The Movie Night Snack Board: The Ultimate Munch-Fest

Whether binging a series or having a spooky movie marathon, nothing pairs better with a film than a killer snack board.

What to Include:

  • Popcorn: Offer a variety like caramel, cheddar, or kettle corn.
  • Chocolates: M&Ms, chocolate-covered pretzels, or mini candy bars (no judgment if they’re leftover from Halloween).
  • Pretzels: A salty crunch to balance the sweetness.
  • Nuts: Almonds, peanuts, or spiced pecans for a fall flavor.
  • Gummy Candies: Add gummy worms for a fun twist if you’re watching a scary movie.

Dips and Spreads: Chocolate sauce, caramel, or honey mustard for the pretzels take your snack board to the next level.

Seasonal Fruits: Apple slices, grapes, and figs add a fresh, fall touch and balance out the candy.

A chocolate fondue board is your show-stopping centerpiece for a truly indulgent fall gathering. It’s easy to make and irresistibly delicious.

What to Include:

  • Dippables:
    • Fresh Fruits: Strawberries, apples, bananas, and pears.
    • Marshmallows: Both big and mini work great.
    • Cookies: Graham crackers, biscotti, or snickerdoodles.
    • Cake/Brownies: Cubed pound cake or brownie bites.

Toppings: Crushed nuts, sprinkles, coconut flakes, or even crushed candy canes for a holiday twist.

Pair with Beverages: Serve with warm drinks like hot apple cider or mulled wine to complete the cozy experience.

Pro Tip: Mix and Match for the Ultimate Fall Charcuterie Experience

Can’t choose between s’mores, movie snacks, or fondue? Combine elements from each for an epic all-in-one fall charcuterie spread. Dip pretzels in chocolate fondue, follow it up with a s’more, and enjoy it with caramel popcorn. It’s indulgent, it’s fall, and it’s worth it!
