Spooktakular Halloween Cheese Board, complete with homemade jalapeño jelly and adorable cinnamon-sugar buñuelo ghosts! You might think to call this charcuterie, but technically this is char-CUTE-erie at its finest.
Arrange fruit and cheese on a platter or cutting board.
Halloween Buñuelos:
Using cookie cutters or scissors, cut any shape from the tortillas.
Combine sugar and cinnamon on a large plate.
Heat oil in a medium pan. Fry shapes in batches until golden, about 2 minutes each side. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
Transfer to cinnamon-sugar while still warm and toss to coat completely.
Notes
I opted for simplicity, using blue cheese and cream cheese. However, if you're in the mood for more cheeses with a Halloween vibe, consider throwing in aged cheddar and gouda or a dark rind pecorino cheese.
To capture the "fall" ambiance, I opted for neutral-colored fruits that align with the season's vibe. When selecting fruits, consider their colors. I stuck to simplicity with grapes, pears, apples, and kiwi. For an extra touch, you can introduce berries like blueberries and blackberries or incorporate dried fruits such as apricots, figs, and dates.
