Method
step 1
Get out a large board or platter. Cut semi-circles from each side of the rind of the camembert and small triangles from the bottom so they look like skulls. Halve two grapes to make eyes and quarter a third to make noses. Put the camembert on the board. Slice the offcuts of cheese and set aside.
step 2
Put a few mini pumpkins on the board and fill one or two with hummus or a dip, if you like (see tip, below). Put a few small bowls on the board and fill with the olives and nuts. Arrange the other ingredients around so everything is nestled together. Add Halloween decorations, if you like.
