It’s all a bunch of hocus pocus! With Hocus Pocus 2 streaming on Disney Plus, we had to make a Hocus Pocus Charcuterie Board! 

Check out how we put this food board together.

It’s so fun and perfect for a Hocus Pocus Movie Night idea. 

Hocus Pocus Charcuterie Board idea

Chances are if you have been on social media, you have seen this trend. We took it upon ourselves to take a stab at it and pay homage to Halloween’s most famous witches, the Sanderson Sisters (Winifred, Sarah, and Mary).

This themed charcuterie board, filled with spooky snacks, would be great for a Halloween party and also perfect for a Hocus Pocus viewing party. 

What You Will Need

To start, we placed three brie rounds in the center of the board; each round represents one of the Sanderson sisters; for hair, we used a variety of foods with a lot of texture.

Putting the Brie in the center of this Hocus Pocus charcuterie board is the base for this Halloween board. 

Be sure to grab this free printable Hocus Pocus party pack.

We shaved white and mild cheddar cheese to make Sarah Sanderon’s hair.

For “Winnie,” we used rolled-up slices of uncured soppressata; you can also use uncured slices of Genoa salami.

You will want to use dark meat to create Winifred’s bright red hair. The following meat will work for her dark red hair: salame, chorizo, or pepperoni.

Lastly, for Mary, we used sweet, ripe North Bay Produce blackberries.

We loved how Mary’s hair turned out; those blackberries were a perfect size. 

The sisters are the focal point, and you can choose the rest of the items we used to fill out the charcuterie board.

Select Halloween-themed snacks and treats you know your family and friends will enjoy.

This is the perfect charcuterie board for a Hocus Pocus watch party or any occasion where you love a good-themed food board.

Tips For Success 

  • Make sure the size of your board will fit all the items you want to use. 
  • If you don’t have a charcuterie board, you can cover a cookie sheet or cutting board with foil or butcher paper. 
  • Fill in all the small gaps with snacking items, delicious sweets, and different shapes to give your board that complete look. 
  • Make the witches first to ensure you have room for them. Then, fill in the rest of the board with other items.
  • Adding various colors is a great way to make your board festive and fun.

Eyes: Black Sliced Olives

Lips: Pull’n’Peel Twizzlers

Our Hocus Pocus board is made up of a variety of fruits, cheeses, and sweets. 

We used North Bay Produce blueberries for the blueberries because they are juicy, sweet, and the perfect size to make mini eyeballs.

To create the blueberry eyeballs, we added a drop of red food gel to each blueberry, then pressed on a candy eyeball. We added a mix of sweet and savory sweets.

Another creative food item to make is edible pumpkins. We peeled mandarin oranges and added a small piece of celery stalk to each mandarin. 

For the broomsticks, we added two different ideas.

Check out the post on how to make Witch’s Broomsticks with peanut butter cups.

For the cheese broomsticks, we sliced Mozzarella String Cheese into three pieces.

Then we took a paring knife and created small slits on one end of the piece of string cheese.

We used pretzel sticks for the broom handle and chive for the ribbon.

Can I change up the items used for the charcuterie board? 

You can pick and cheese any snack items for this charcuterie board.

I recommend meats, cheese, crackers, and other small snacking items.

Since this is a Halloween-themed look for fun candies in unique shapes and items like that.

When does Hocus Pocus 2 release? 

Hocus Pocus 2 was released on Disney+ on 9/30/2022. You can stream both Hocus Pocus 1 and 2 on Disney Plus.

Be sure to grab these free Hocus Pocus printables for your movie night! 

Murray's Brie from Kroger

What if I don’t want Brie cheese for my charcuterie? 

The idea behind the Brie is it is round and can mimic the faces of each of the witches.

You could use Camembert Cheese in replacement if you would like.

Or even a goat cheese that you shape.

Is it hard to make a charcuterie board? 

It is easy to make a charcuterie board.

The biggest thing I can recommend is ensuring you have a wide range of food items and fill all the space.

The goal is to fill your snack board with a delicious variety of food your guests or family can graze and enjoy.

More Items to Place on Charcuterie Board

Here are some of my favorite items to add to your Halloween snack board that you can make and serve. The most important part is to have fun creating your board. 

These are homemade or decorated treats that will be a treat for kids and adults to snack on. 

  • Halloween Chocolate Bark
  • Spooky Halloween Oreos
  • Witch’s Fingers
  • Ghost Cupcakes – These would be cute in a mini cupcake form. 
  • Pretzel Bones

Can I assemble this board in advance? 

Yes, you can. Just assemble the board how you would like it, then cover it with plastic wrap or foil.

Then it would help to store the snack board in the fridge until you are ready to serve it.

Feel free to make up your snack board 12-24 hours in advance if you need to.

Salami, pepperoni, various cheeses, nuts, and even fruits and crackers are typically on a charcuterie.

Do you eat charcuterie with your fingers?

Typically, you pick up the items on your charcuterie with tongs or fingers.

Now, for spreads and items, you can have a serving knife with it so people can cut off their cheese or spread the dip on a cracker.

There is no wrong way to eat off a charcuterie board.
