How to Build a Charcuterie Board for Football Season: Game Day Grazing Ideas

Football season is synonymous with good friends, exciting games, and, of course, great food. While chips and dip are a classic game day go-to, a well-designed charcuterie board can take your football feast to the next level.

1. Select Your Base: Meats and Cheeses

No charcuterie board is complete without a selection of high-quality meats and cheeses. For game day, choose hearty, flavorful options that are easy to eat while cheering for your team.

2. Add Crunch with Crackers, Pretzels, and Chips

No game day snack is complete without a little crunch! Fill in the gaps on your board with a variety of crackers, pretzels, and chips.

3. Incorporate Dips and Spreads

Dips and spreads are essential for making your charcuterie board stand out. Popular game day dips like buffalo chicken dip and guacamole will pair perfectly with your meats and chips.

4. Add Game Day Themed Extras

Small, thoughtful details make a football-themed charcuterie board special. Add football-shaped cheese balls, mini sliders, and colorful veggies for a festive touch.

5. Don't Forget the Sweet Treats

A great charcuterie board balances savory and sweet flavors. Incorporate bowls of chocolate-covered pretzels, caramel popcorn, and grapes for variety.
