Print Recipe

The Ultimate Super Bowl Charcuterie Board with Pretzel Rods is a no-cook, shareable grazing masterpiece. It features salty pretzel rods as edible skewers, paired with a variety of cheeses, meats, dips, and accompaniments for a stress-free game day spread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large bags pretzel rods (e.g., Snyder’s of Hanover)
  • 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese block
  • 8 oz pepper jack cheese block
  • 8 oz smoked gouda cheese block
  • 8 oz brie cheese wheel
  • 8 oz Genoa salami
  • 4–6 oz prosciutto
  • 6 oz spicy capicola
  • 1 cup spicy queso dip
  • 1/2 cup honey mustard
  • 1/3 cup whole grain mustard
  • 1 cup gherkins or cornichons
  • 1/2 cup spicy pickled okra or banana peppers
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers
  • 1 cup fresh grapes (red or green)
  • Honey for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Place your large board on your serving surface. Take cheeses out of the fridge about 30 minutes before assembling to let them come to room temperature.
  2. Strategically place small bowls of queso, honey mustard, whole grain mustard, and honey on the board as anchors.
  3. Arrange blocks of cheese around the bowls. Leave some blocks whole and pre-slice a few pieces. Fan out smoked gouda slices and place brie wheel prominently.
  4. Fold or roll salami slices and arrange in small piles. Drape prosciutto in loose ribbons. Tuck capicola near pepper jack cheese.
  5. Arrange pretzel rods in clusters around the board, some pointing inwards and some outwards, filling gaps to create height and texture.
  6. Fill empty spaces with gherkins, pickled okra, roasted red peppers, and clusters of grapes. Ensure no bare wood is visible.
  7. Drizzle honey over brie or sharp cheddar. Add extra pretzel rods on top for dramatic effect. Adjust any items that look out of place.

Notes

Fill 80% of the board with savory items and 20% with sweet/briny elements. Serve cheeses at room temperature. Pre-slice some cheese but leave blocks whole for visual appeal. Keep dips in bowls to avoid mess. Assemble no more than 1-2 hours before serving.
