Ingredients
  

  • assorted meats (I used honey ham and salami)
  • assorted cheeses (I used provolone slices, a block of sharp cheddar, and a block of white cheddar. The mouth on the vampire Mickey shape is American cheese)
  • assorted fruits and/or veggies (I used grapes, blackberries, and gherkins)
  • crunchy elements (I used several types of crackers but pretzels or crostini would work great)
  • sweet fillers (I used candy corn)

Equipment

  • 1 wooden charcuterie board (there is a link above if you need one :)
  • Mickey-shaped cookie cutters (the link for the 4-piece cookie cutter set is also above)

Method
 

Prepare the Mickey shapes
  1. First, take a few slices off of your cheese chunks and grab a few slices of salami and provolone (or anything that will hold a Mickey-shape). Cut them into Mickey shapes using the cookie cutters. Varied sizes look great! Set the Mickey shapes aside to use on top of the assembled charcuterie board.
  2. To make the Vampire Mickey-shaped cheese I used one of the larger cutters on a slice of provolone. Using a paring knife, I cut two triangular teeth out of the scrap and the mouth shape out of a slice of American cheese. Place the mouth and teeth onto the Mickey-shaped provolone and set aside.
Arrange the charcuterie board
  1. I start by placing a piece of aluminum foil on my charcuterie board right up the juice grooves. This is not necessary but it makes cleanup easier!
  2. Start by arranging the "crunchy" items (crackers and such.). Overlap them to fit more onto the tray and place them in several areas for balance.
  3. Cube the blocks of cheddar cheese and place in small piles throughout the tray.
  4. Place fruit (and/or veggies) throughout the cheese and crackers.
  5. Fold or roll up meat and arrange neatly in several areas. (I rolled up the ham then cut the roll into several pieces and stood them up on end. For the salami, I folded each slice in half 3 times.)
  6. Grab the Mickey-shaped items that you have set aside and scatter them on top of the charcuterie board.
  7. Using the candy corn, fill in any areas that appear empty.
