As the weather gets cooler and the holidays approach, it’s good to have a few last-minute entertaining tricks up your sleeve. A charcuterie or grazing board is the perfect solution for gathering with friends. It’s easy to put together and always a fan favorite. Even if entertaining isn’t your thing, you’ll impress even yourself by putting together a selection of snacks that will be devoured in an instant. Here are ten of our favorite items to put on a fall or winter charcuterie board. 

Frosted Brownie Almonds

If there isn’t a nut allergy in your crew, it’s always fun to have some sort of crunchy item to pair with the soft cheeses and meats. We love these frosted brownie almonds, a seasonal LTO. With a dusting of cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and regular sugar, these sweet and salty almonds make the perfect treat to sprinkle on your board.

Pumpkin Shaped Wooden Board

Your actual board can get in on the festivities as well. This acacia wood pumpkin shaped board is the perfect vessel for a fall or even winter spread. Its non-porous surface is perfect for any food. Simply hand wash before storing.

Cheese Knife Set

This six-piece set of cheese knives is the perfect addition to any board. They look nice and serve a function as well. Each knife works with a different style of cheese from harder cheddars to spreadable Brie. 

Firehook Crackers

Any good board has plenty of crackers for topping. These Firehook crackers are salty, crunchy, and neutral enough to match with any cheese or meat combination. This package of four boxes is the perfect purchase to make sure you have crackers all party long.

Coro Charcuterie Trio

This trio of pre-sliced salamis is perfect to just open and place on your charcuterie board for easy last-minute entertaining. Each salami is packed with flavor from a Mole salami with hints of cinnamon, cocoa and chipotle, a sopressata, and their original salami with a hint of garlic. 

Dried Mango

Fresh or dried fruit is always a staple on charcuterie boards, but why not mix it up with something unexpected like dried mango. This version has no added sugar, just the natural sweetness from the fruit. The pop of bright orange adds visual appeal as well.

Vermont Creamery Hooper

You need cheese on your board, of course, and sometimes it’s nice to feature something unexpected. This new donut-shaped cheese from Vermont Creamery is a blend of cow and goat’s milk cheese. It’s creamy, gooey, and a bit tangy. The perfect add to any fall or winter charcuterie board. 

Endangered Species Dark Chocolate 

Chocolate may not be an obvious charcuterie board pairing, but it’s one that will delight guests. Grab a high-quality chocolate bar and break it into pieces to scatter on the board. Dark chocolate plays better as it’s less sweet, but anything will work to add an unexpected element to the board.

Sour Cherry Jam

Jam is always a nice add to a charcuterie board, especially when you have soft, spreadable cheeses. This sour cherry jam from Divina is always a hit. It’s perfect for any bread or crackers, cheese, and even a pairing for any meats on the board.

Manuka Honey

A drizzle of honey adds the right amount of sweetness on a board and just in time for the cold of fall and winter, manuka honey carries some extra antioxidants. A little of this honey goes a long way, so put a small bowl on your board and save the rest for tea and other treats.
