If you're hosting a scary-movie marathon [1] this Halloween [2], quality snacks are a must. Thanks to the Sanderson Sisters, this "Hocus Pocus [3]" charcuterie board is pretty much a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Sure, cheese and cold cuts might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Halloween snacks [4], but this enchanting "Hocus Pocus" charcuterie board, designed by Courtney Wright [5] in 2020, has clearly put a spell on TikTok and Instagram.
"The idea for the savory 'Hocus Pocus' grazing board quite literally popped into my head after seeing that the movie was starting to run on Freeform as part of their 31 Nights of Halloween [6]," Wright tells POPSUGAR. "'Hocus Pocus' has always been my favorite Halloween movie, and I was inspired to create something I'd never done before. The Sanderson Sisters are so iconic — I couldn't stop thinking about how their look could be created on something like a grazing board. I instantly knew that I wanted to use brie rounds for the faces, rolled salami for Winifred's hair, and blackberries for Mary's. I honestly had no idea how it would turn out but was thrilled with the result!"
Now, for the fourth year in a row, the Sanderson Sisters charcuterie boards are making the rounds on social media. If you're one of the few who hasn't been bewitched by the "Hocus Pocus" cheese boards, you will be after you see the Sanderson Sisters' faces immortalized in cheddar, brie, and gouda [7]. Personally, I'm tempted to serve up Winifred's salami curls with crackers ASAP.
