Before I get to the list, I have some charcuterie board tips for you. I hope they help you and answer any questions you might have.
What Are Fall Foods
Before we get to the list of fall charcuterie boards, let’s answer a very important question. What makes food fit in with the season of fall? What are fall foods?
Fall foods are usually reddish brown with shades of yellow and orange mixed in. Yes, just like the colors the leaves turn every year. I like to mimic those changes in leaves and recreate those colors in the charcuterie boards.
That means I might use some roasted nuts, sliced oranges, red apples, and bright orange carrots.
Then I also look at which types of food are popular this time of year.
That leads me to things like pumpkins, apples, candy and caramel.
And we always eat with our eyes, first. So I try to shape the food into fall shapes. Leaves, pumpkins, and scarecrows are images you see everywhere this time of year.
See? It’s easy to make fall food (and fall charcuterie boards).
So where do you buy the supplies for them?

Where To Buy Charcuterie Board Supplies
There are just a few main things you need when you make a charcuterie board. And you can find these supplies at Amazon, Etsy, Target, or even Walmart.
First, you need a serving tray. I like to use a large wooden cutting board. It’s sturdy and the colors look perfect with my fall foods.
Next, you need some ramekins for the smaller things like dips, jelly, spreads, and mixed nuts.
For fun, you can also get some fall-themed toothpicks or some silk fall foliage to decorate the trays.
And always use what you have. If you don’t have ramekins, cupcake liners work in a pinch.
Fall Drinks
Now that you know which charcuterie boards you’re going to make, think about the drinks. I have a bunch of collections of fall drinks that give you plenty of options. You’ll find something you love in one of these roundups:
All of the drinks in the listed collections are alcoholic. But don’t worry – you can make anything into a mocktail, too. Just replace the alcohol with something else, like fruit juice.
