Recipe Facts

• Makes: 3
• Prep Time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients

• 6 heirloom cherry tomatoes

• 3 queen green olives

• 3 black kalamata olives

• 6 slices peppered salami

• 15 fresh mozzarella pearls

Instructions

1- Preheat your oven to 350°F.

2- Grab a witch hat and cauldron silicone mold like this one from Joann and press two mozzarella pearls into each hat mold and three into each cauldron.

3- Place the silicone mold on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes until the cheese begins to melt slightly.

4- Remove from the oven and gently press the melted cheese down using the back of a small spoon. Drain any excess liquid and place the mold in the fridge to chill for 10 minutes.

5- While it chills, prep your skewers. Thread heirloom cherry tomatoes onto bamboo sticks like these from Hobby Lobby.

6- Do the same with the olives and folded salami slices.

7- Once the cheese shapes are firm, remove them from the mold and skewer them too.

8- Stick all your skewers into the cauldrons like bubbling potion ingredients. Keep chilled until ready to serve.

These mini charcuterie cauldrons look magical on a Halloween grazing table next to themed dips, spooky treats, and colorful cocktails.

They’re a savory break from all the sweets and perfect for anyone craving a little protein and texture in the middle of all the candy chaos.
