Place condiments (jam and mustard) in small serving bowls and place on board.
Wash, dry, and place mini pumpkins on board.

Add grapes and salami.
Fill in the gaps with candies and other treats.
Garnish with leaves.
Serve right away.
Notes
There’s no wrong way to cheese board! That’s the beauty of it. You can add just about anything you’d like (such as caramel popcorn, nuts, or olives) or take off anything you don’t like.
Thomas bought these very inexpensive cheese knives for my stocking last Christmas, and I love them! I use a few nice boards and these knives over and over again.
Don't be afraid to use a variety of cheeses and experiment a little!
The candies, garnishes, treats, and colors are a great way to change up your cheese board for different occasions.
