The BEST Halloween Charcuterie idea.

Ingredients

• 12 slices Salami (thinly sliced, deli style)
• 12 pieces Mozzarella Pearls (small mozzarella balls (bocconcini), drained)
• 12 pieces Pimento Olives (pitted, whole)
• 1 cup Fresh Fruit (bite‑size pieces such as grapes, strawberries, or pineapple chunks)
• 12 pieces Toothpicks (wooden, standard size)
• 12 pieces Paper Cones (store‑bought edible pastry cones or homemade phyllo cups)
• 1 piece Jumbo Straw (wide drinking straw, cleaned thoroughly)

Instructions

1. Slice Salami

   If the salami isn’t already thin, use kitchen scissors to cut it into long, thin strips about 1‑2 mm thick.

   Time: PT2M

2. Arrange Salami Strips

   Lay the salami strips in a straight line on a plate; this makes it easier to roll each rose later.

   Time: PT1M

3. Hollow Out Mozzarella Pearls

   Insert the jumbo straw into the center of a mozzarella pearl and gently twist to push out the soft interior, creating a small cavity.

   Time: PT3M

4. Stuff with Pimento Olive

   Place a pimento olive into the hollowed mozzarella pearl, pressing lightly so it stays centered.

   Time: PT2M

5. Roll Salami Rose

   Wrap a salami strip around the stuffed mozzarella pearl, starting at one end and spiraling outward to form a rose shape. Secure the base with a toothpick.

   Time: PT4M

6. Prepare Fruit Skewers

   Thread bite‑size fruit pieces onto small skewer sticks, creating 1‑2 inch fruit spears.

   Time: PT3M

7. Fill Paper Cones

   Place 2‑3 fruit skewers into each paper cone, arranging them upright.

   Time: PT2M

8. Assemble the Platter

   Arrange the salami roses on top of or beside the fruit‑filled cones on a serving platter.

   Time: PT2M

9. Serve

   Serve immediately at room temperature. If needed, keep the platter covered with plastic wrap for up to 1 hour.

   Time: PT0M
