HALLOWEEN CHARCUTERIE BOARD ON TWIN CITIES LIVE

Below there’s a link to the show from Wednesday on Twin Cities Live where we made a pumpkin charcutery board in celebration of the Halloween Capital of the World, Anoka MN! There were so many tasty things, and I feel lucky to represent Nordic Ware, Anoka Meat & Sausage, and the City of Anoka at this time of the year.

At Anoka Meat & Sausage, we offer a variety of mouthwatering options to build your perfect charcutery board. Whether you are making the perfect snack tray with our flavored pretzels, dips and beef sticks; or if you are entertaining for the holidays, our deli has many options waiting for you. Don't forget you can order a premade meat & cheese tray for only $75.00, just call us to reserve at 763-421-5580.

With Oktoberfest under way we have plenty of sausage choices for you! Enjoy our Smoked Wild Rice Brat, Dill Pickle Brat, German Sausage, Polish Sausage, Smoked Cheddar and more. GOOD OR BAD, if you are a My Talker - Bradley & Dawn are going to review our Candy Corn Brats LIVE on air on Friday 10/17 for their Friday Food segment around 1:30. This is so exciting, and you are invited to tune in & listen in.

Halloween Charcuterie Board Recipe

To create the best Halloween charcuterie board, choose a color theme and use creative shapes and foods. Arrange various meats, cheese, fruits, vegetables, crackers, pretzels and nuts to create a visually appealing full board and add in festive props like carved out pumkins filled with dips like I did on Twin Cities Live. Be sure to watch the TV episode in the link above to hear more ideas. The 24" lazy susan board I used was filled with goodies made with Nordic Ware and their premade pumkin mixes and halloween-ware to make the version seen live.
