Ingredients

For Mummy's Best Baked Brie:

All-purpose flour, for work surface
1 (14-ounce) package all-butter puff pastry (such as Dufour), defrosted but still cold
1 (8-ounce) wheel Brie
Pimento-stuffed green olive, sliced

For the Mummy Breadsticks:

Breadsticks
Thinly sliced prosciutto
Capers

For the Devil's Deviled Eggs:

Deviled eggs, either store-bought or homemade (such as pimento cheese deviled eggs)
Red serrano chili

For the Witches' Brooms:

String cheese
Pretzel sticks

For the Goat Cheese Ghost Smears:

1 (4-ounce) log goat cheese, at room temperature
Milk or heavy cream, if needed
Long thin crackers
Black sesame seeds

Crackers, pimento-stuffed green olives, marcona almonds, or other tidbits to fill out the board

Directions

1. Step 1Make the Mummy's Best Baked Brie: Preheat oven to 425°F. On a lightly floured work surface, unfold the puff pastry. Cut into 1/2- to 1-inch strips. Wrap strips around brie in a haphazard fashion to create a mummy look. Place in a mini- cast-iron skillet, such as this. Tuck two slices olives under a few strips of puff pastry to create eyes. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
2. Step 2Make the Mummy Breadsticks: Wrap each breadstick with one to two slices of prosciutto. Add two capers toward one end of the wrapped breadstick to create eyes.
3. Step 3Make the Devil's Deviled Eggs: Make your favorite deviled egg recipe. Cut devil horns from chilis with a paring knife. Interest two horns toward the top yolk portion of each egg.
4. Step 4Make Witches' Brooms: Slice the bottom 1/3 to 1/2 of each log of string cheese with a paring knife to create the broom bristles. Insert a pretzel stick into the opposite end for the broom handle.
5. Step 5Make the Goat Cheese Ghost Smears: Use a small offset spatula to smear a small amount of goat cheese down the length of a cracker (if the goat cheese is too thick to spread, stir a little milk or heavy cream into it). Add two sesame seed eyes.
6. Step 6Arrange all elements on a cutting board, along with additional crackers, pimento-stuffed green olives, and marcona almonds.
