Description

Create a spooktacular Halloween dessert charcuterie board that’s as fun to assemble as it is to eat! Perfect for parties or a festive family night.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Assorted Halloween-themed cookies (ghosts, pumpkins, bats)
  • Assorted candies (gummy worms, candy corn, chocolate eyeballs)
  • Fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Pretzels (sticks and twists)
  • Chocolate dipping sauce
  • Caramel dipping sauce
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Graham crackers
  • Dark chocolate chips
  • White chocolate chips
  • Sprinkles (orange, black, purple)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This will be your “graveyard dirt” dip.
  2. Arrange the assorted Halloween cookies, candies, and fresh fruit on a large platter or wooden board.
  3. Add bowls of chocolate and caramel dipping sauces.
  4. Fill in any gaps with pretzels, mini marshmallows, and graham crackers.
  5. Melt the dark and white chocolate chips separately in microwave-safe bowls, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  6. Drizzle the melted chocolate over some of the cookies and pretzels for an extra festive touch.
  7. Top with Halloween sprinkles.
  8. Serve the “graveyard dirt” dip alongside the board for dipping.

Notes

  • Get creative with your arrangement! Think about creating spooky scenes or patterns.
  • Consider adding some DIY Halloween treats like chocolate-covered strawberries decorated as ghosts or pumpkins.
  • For a savory element, you could include some cheese and crackers, but keep the focus on the sweet treats for a dessert board.
  • Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
