Supplies You’ll Need For These Mini Halloween Charcuterie Coffins

• Halloween Coffin: You can find these at your local Dollar Tree. I love that the coffins have an iridescent shimmer

• Assorted Meats: I just used salami and folded it and skewered it with a toothpick. Other options could be smoked salmon, pepperoni, or prosciutto. Customize these with your favorite charcuterie meats.

• Cheese: I am loving the combo of goat cheese and fig jam so that is the only cheese I used. You can again make this your own with your favorite cheese or cheeses.

• Leaf Press – this is totally optional but I loved how the leaf shaped goat cheese added to the fall aesthetic

• Crackers: Include a selection of crackers to complement your meats and cheeses. Bonus if you can find Halloween shaped crackers. I just used Triscuit thins.

• Fresh Fruits: I added grapes strawberries and blueberries. Apples would be good too if you are serving them before they have time to brown 

• Fig Jam this tiny fig jam get perfectly in the coffin box

• Candy Eyeballs: These can be found at most stores. They’ll add a spooky twist to your charcuterie box.

• Mini cucumbers or veggies of choice

• Optional Garnishes: I used rosemary. You could use other fresh herbs, nuts, olives or spooky decorations. A piece of honeycomb is always a delicious addition to charcuterie.

• Parchment paper to line the coffin box

• Ribbon or bows as an option to zuszh up your box. I used this black and white ribbon

For a video of the process creating these mini charcuterie coffin boxes, see our YouTube short here

Here is what we did to create this exact look

• Wash out coffin box and dry it

• Trim parchment paper to fit inside the mini coffin box.

• Add fig jam. It doesn’t fit if you put it in sideways. Ask me how I know.

• Fill the leaf shaped press with goat cheese or Boursin would also be amazing. Press and remove the cheese from the press and add to the mini charcuterie box.

• Fold salami accordion style. Skewer with a toothpick and add the the box.

• Add grapes, sliced cucumber, blueberries, halved strawberries.

• Add crackers close to the end or add them just before serving or delivering your boxes so they don’t get soggy.

• Top with a sprig of rosemary.

• Add candy eyeballs throughout the box for a spooky aesthetic.

• Add the lid unless you are displaying them open.

• Top them with a bow or other spooky Halloween gift topper.
