Halloween Entertaining with Boarderie and Edible Arrangements

Halloween isn’t just for the kids with pillowcases full of candy and a sugar high that could power a small city. It’s also the perfect excuse for adults to indulge a little- to swap out the plastic cauldrons for charcuterie boards and elevate the pumpkin-carving chaos with something that feels a bit more refined (but still playfully spooky). This year, entertaining for Halloween can be both delicious and effortless, thanks to Boarderie and Edible Arrangements. Between these two brands, you can stage an entire evening of frightful fun without ever having to wield a cheese knife or slice a pineapple yourself.

Boarderie brings the kind of presentation that makes even the most skeptical party guest pause their ghost story mid-sentence. Their artfully assembled cheese and charcuterie boards arrive at your door fully prepared- no slicing, no styling, no “Pinterest attempt gone wrong.” Pair that with Edible Arrangements’ fresh fruit creations- sometimes dipped in chocolate, sometimes sculpted into little ghosts- and you’ve got yourself an edible décor that doubles as a conversation piece. Together, these two brands strike that rare Halloween balance between classy and creepy, offering treats that please both the sophisticated snacker and the sweet-toothed goblin in all of us.

In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at the standout offerings from each brand that can help turn your Halloween night from “just another costume party” into a feast that’s frightfully memorable. Whether you’re hosting a full-on haunted soirée or simply setting the mood for a cozy night in with family and friends, these edible masterpieces will make you the kind of host whose table guests still talk about long after the candy corn is gone.

Boarderie Halloween Large Cheese & CharBOOterie Board

There’s impressive, and then there’s the Halloween Large Cheese & CharBOOterie Board from Boarderie- a platter so spectacular that even Oprah herself declared it one of her “Favorite Things.” And honestly, if it’s good enough for Oprah, it’s more than good enough for the rest of us trying to survive a night of sticky fingers and sugar-fueled toddlers. Boarderie has mastered the impossible: making charcuterie feel luxurious yet entirely stress-free. Each board arrives overnight, fully assembled, perfectly arranged, and ready to impress. No slicing, no shopping, no panic when you realize you forgot to buy crackers. It’s like having your own personal chef- if that chef also happened to have a deep understanding of Halloween aesthetics.

Unboxing it is its own experience. You lift the lid to find 37 artisan ingredients that look almost too good to eat: ribbons of prosciutto, wedges of handcrafted cheeses sourced from Italy and France, jewel-like dried fruits, chocolate bites, and an array of olives and nuts that might make you question your usual snack drawer. Even the crackers are thoughtfully chosen, with flavors like Rosemary and Olive Oil, Tart Cherry and Cacao, and Everything Spice- because apparently, even the carbs here are couture. It all sits atop an acacia wood serving board (which, by the way, you’ll want to keep long after the last bite).

What really makes this board stand out, though, are the festive details that playfully nod to the season: White Cheddar pumpkins, Witch Hat cuts, and Yellow Cheddar bats that seem ready to swoop off the table. Add their new Hungarian Honeycomb add-on- a golden, glistening treat that melts like autumn sunshine- and suddenly, your spread isn’t just a snack; it’s a centerpiece. The best part? No cleanup. When the last ghost story has been told and the kids are arguing over who gets the last truffle, all that’s left for you to do is sit back and quietly bask in the compliments.

Edible Arrangements Spooky Season Fruit Arrangement

If Halloween had a fruit basket fairy godmother, it would be Edible Arrangements. Their Spooky Season Fruit Arrangement is proof that dessert doesn’t have to come from a bag of candy to earn a spot on the Halloween table. This show-stopping arrangement blends the fun of festive sweets with the freshness of perfectly ripe fruit, turning an ordinary snack into edible art. At first glance, you might mistake it for a bouquet- but then you notice the tiny chocolate-dipped pineapple bats and ghosts perched among strawberries, melon, and grapes, and suddenly you realize it’s way too good to just sit and admire.

Each piece of fruit is hand-dipped in real semi-sweet or white chocolate (no mystery coatings or added preservatives here). The combination of juicy fruit and rich chocolate makes every bite feel indulgent but not heavy- a refreshing change from the avalanche of sugary candy that tends to dominate this season. And if your Halloween gathering includes little ones, this is the perfect way to sneak in something fresh between the cupcakes and candy bars. It’s a balance of spooky and sweet that looks beautiful on the table and disappears faster than you can say “trick or treat.”

Edible Arrangements also makes it easy to customize your order. Add a few fresh autumn flowers to complement your treat, and suddenly your snack station feels more like a fall celebration than a sugar binge. Whether it’s for a classroom party, neighborhood gathering, or your own haunted dinner table, the Spooky Season Fruit Arrangement sets the perfect tone- playful, eye-catching, and effortlessly polished. You’ll find yourself wondering how something so charmingly festive could be so incredibly simple. Spoiler alert: that’s kind of the whole point.

Edible Arrangements Scary Berry Platter

If you want to impress the crowd without lifting a finger (or worse, a mixing spoon), the Scary Berry Platter from Edible Arrangements deserves a permanent place in your Halloween hosting lineup. It’s equal parts elegant and eerie, a platter that’s just as at home beside your bubbling witch’s brew as it is next to the candy bowl. With chocolate-dipped strawberries, pineapple ghosts, and an assortment of artfully arranged fruits, it manages to capture the festive spirit of Halloween while still being- dare we say it- grown-up.

Every strawberry is hand-dipped and decorated with that unmistakable Edible Arrangements precision, making each piece look like it was designed for a food magazine shoot. But don’t let the picture-perfect appearance fool you- these treats are meant to be devoured. The mix of textures is divine: crisp fruit, smooth chocolate, and just enough sweetness to satisfy without the crash. It’s also a smart alternative for those who want to indulge without overdosing on candy corn.

Picture this: You’re hosting a Halloween costume contest, the kids are mid-sugar frenzy, and you need something festive but fast to serve the grown-ups. Enter the Scary Berry Platter. You unwrap it, set it down, and instantly the dessert table looks pulled together—like you spent hours preparing instead of minutes opening a box. It’s the kind of trick that feels like a treat, and the perfect way to round out an evening of spooky elegance. For hosts who want to blend sophistication with fun, this platter might just be your new secret weapon.

Wrapping Up the Frightful Feast

At the end of the night, when the fake cobwebs start to droop and the last piece of candy corn has mysteriously vanished, it’s the details that make Halloween memorable. Both Boarderie and Edible Arrangements have managed to turn convenience into an art form- proving that effortless entertaining can still be impressive. Between the sculpted cheeses, handcrafted honeycomb, and chocolate-dipped ghosts, these brands capture the spirit of the season with a balance of whimsy and sophistication that feels right at home on any Halloween table.

Whether you’re hosting a haunted bash, an elegant dinner with a touch of mischief, or just treating your family to something special while you marathon spooky movies, these ready-to-serve creations take the stress out of party prep. No frantic slicing, no sugar overload- just edible magic, beautifully delivered. Halloween might come once a year, but with spreads like these, you’ll wish it came around far more often.
