Arrange the vegetables—baby carrots, celery sticks, and cucumber slices—on a large serving platter to create a colorful baseline for your spooky scene.
Unwrap the marshmallows and carefully cut a small slit in each one using a sharp knife to create a ghost shape. Be gentle to preserve their shape.
Place each marshmallow ghost on top of vegetables, using toothpicks if needed to secure upright, creating a ghostly appearance.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with a little water or milk until smooth and spreadable; then, cut small circles from the cheese using a cookie cutter or a glass to make cheese ghosts.
Position the cheese circles on some of the vegetables, and use tiny bits of cheese or cream cheese to attach small raisin or chocolate chip eyes for a spooky face.
Drape slices of hard cheese over some vegetables or arrange small cheese ghosts among the veggies for added spooky flair.
Add eyes to the marshmallow ghosts by inserting a raisin or chocolate chip into each, giving them adorable little faces.
Use toothpicks behind vegetables if some ghosts sag or need extra support to stand upright.
Optional: Dust some paprika or black pepper on cheese ghosts for a spooky, aged effect.
Step back and appreciate your whimsical Halloween veggie platter—ready to wow guests with its playful and spooky design.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until your party begins for a fresh, fun presentation.
