Wine and Chocolate Charcuterie DIY!

Wine and chocolate go hand in hand…in my opinion!  And when you combine a collection on a delicious charcuterie you’ve got a sweet treat that won’t disappoint!  Halloween will be different this year.  Our annual tradition of meeting friends for a multi family dinner party & passing out treats just isn’t going to happen this holiday.  As disappointing as that may be, it’s temporary and we can still find many ways to make the night special!  One treat I’m planning is to surprise my hubby with a wine and chocolate dessert board we can share!  Piled with full-bodied flavor and rich dark colors, this grazing tray is perfect for All Hallows Eve!  The drinks might be for the adults but you can substitute with any favorite mocktail for the 21 and under crowd!  And to please the entire family, we might just fire up the patio heaters and watch a holiday movie outdoors. So if you’re handing out treats, taking the goblins out, or just staying at home…wind down your Halloween festivities with a special treat made just for the grownup ghosts!

i’ve shared how to make them before…but they’re so fun, i couldn’t resist to show this grownup version!

what i used to create this board:

large serving board -tray or platter

assortment of chocolates & brownie bites

chocolate covered nuts, pears, dates & black berries

red wine & glasses

sweet crackers or chips

napkins, cupcake picks, artificial flowers & leaves

start with your tray and some of the larger items in your selection…

i left the pretty pears whole to give contrast in size and color…

i love adding flowers or herbs…but since my garden is now bare, i used artificial bundles!

including the drinking vessels looks pretty by adding height and contrasting materials to your tray!

to keep from using TOO many different chocolates, i also let the darling napkins take up space on my board…
