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
- 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.
- Arrange the assorted Halloween cookies, candies, and fresh fruit on a large platter or wooden board.
- Add bowls of chocolate and caramel dipping sauces.
- Fill in any gaps with pretzels, mini marshmallows, and graham crackers.
- Melt the dark and white chocolate chips separately in microwave-safe bowls, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over some of the cookies and pretzels for an extra festive touch.
- Top with Halloween sprinkles.
- 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.
