* Cheddar Slices Cheese
* Olives
* Pepperoni or Salami slices
* Mozzarella Cheese Slices

How to Make This Grinch-Themed Charcuterie Board

Spread the crackers on the bottom of a round platter. Then, use the pepperoni slices to create the Grinch’s Santa hat.

Fill the center with green grapes for the Grinch’s face. Then, slice the cheddar cheese into ovals and place on the grapes for the Grinch’s eyes.

Add the rosemary sprigs for Grinch eyebrows.

 

Add olives for the eye balls and pupil. The last touch is to add the mozzarella slices for the rim of the hat and overlap a couple of slices for the pom-pom.

If there are left overs, simply wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. Remove any crackers first and store those in plastic wrap – just don’t put them in the fridge.

Variations and Substitutions:

It’s easy to switch up the ingredients used for this festive fun snack! Here’s a few ideas:

Grinch Vegetable Platter

Turn this into more of a Grinch Vegetable Platter by substituting broccoli florets instead of grapes for the face. 

Change out the mozzarella and use cauliflower florets instead.

Sliced red bell peppers can be used for the Grinch’s Christmas hat, instead of the pepperoni slices.

Grinch Guacamole Board

Use guacamole for the grinch’s face instead. Red peppers will work great for the hat. Use cheese for the eye and a olive for each pupil.

Serve along with chips on the side, or line the bottom of the board with tortilla chips.

Grinch Fruit Tray Ideas

Want to go with a meatless Grinch fruit tray? Easily switch out the pepperoni slices and use whole strawberries instead!

Simply arrange them in the shape of the hat.

Grinch Fruit and Veggie Tray

Want to combine both? Why not try using halved cherry tomatoes for the hat, and use red and green grapes for the face. You could also use kiwi slices.
