It’s all a bunch of hocus pocus! With Hocus Pocus 2 streaming on Disney Plus, we had to make a Hocus Pocus Charcuterie Board!
Check out how we put this food board together.
It’s so fun and perfect for a Hocus Pocus Movie Night idea.
Chances are if you have been on social media, you have seen this trend. We took it upon ourselves to take a stab at it and pay homage to Halloween’s most famous witches, the Sanderson Sisters (Winifred, Sarah, and Mary).
This themed charcuterie board, filled with spooky snacks, would be great for a Halloween party and also perfect for a Hocus Pocus viewing party.
What You Will Need
To start, we placed three brie rounds in the center of the board; each round represents one of the Sanderson sisters; for hair, we used a variety of foods with a lot of texture.
Putting the Brie in the center of this Hocus Pocus charcuterie board is the base for this Halloween board.

We shaved white and mild cheddar cheese to make Sarah Sanderon’s hair.
For “Winnie,” we used rolled-up slices of uncured soppressata; you can also use uncured slices of Genoa salami.
You will want to use dark meat to create Winifred’s bright red hair. The following meat will work for her dark red hair: salame, chorizo, or pepperoni.
Lastly, for Mary, we used sweet, ripe North Bay Produce blackberries.
We loved how Mary’s hair turned out; those blackberries were a perfect size.
The sisters are the focal point, and you can choose the rest of the items we used to fill out the charcuterie board.
Select Halloween-themed snacks and treats you know your family and friends will enjoy.
This is the perfect charcuterie board for a Hocus Pocus watch party or any occasion where you love a good-themed food board.
Tips For Success
- Make sure the size of your board will fit all the items you want to use.
- If you don’t have a charcuterie board, you can cover a cookie sheet or cutting board with foil or butcher paper.
- Fill in all the small gaps with snacking items, delicious sweets, and different shapes to give your board that complete look.
- Make the witches first to ensure you have room for them. Then, fill in the rest of the board with other items.
- Adding various colors is a great way to make your board festive and fun.
Eyes: Black Sliced Olives
Lips: Pull’n’Peel Twizzlers
Our Hocus Pocus board is made up of a variety of fruits, cheeses, and sweets.
We used North Bay Produce blueberries for the blueberries because they are juicy, sweet, and the perfect size to make mini eyeballs.
To create the blueberry eyeballs, we added a drop of red food gel to each blueberry, then pressed on a candy eyeball. We added a mix of sweet and savory sweets.
Another creative food item to make is edible pumpkins. We peeled mandarin oranges and added a small piece of celery stalk to each mandarin.
For the broomsticks, we added two different ideas.
Check out the post on how to make Witch’s Broomsticks with peanut butter cups.
For the cheese broomsticks, we sliced Mozzarella String Cheese into three pieces.
Then we took a paring knife and created small slits on one end of the piece of string cheese.
We used pretzel sticks for the broom handle and chive for the ribbon.
