The new dessert charcuterie board IS the frosting board if you ask me. The idea seems to have started with the need to make dessert versions of that viral butter board. I'm totally here for all of it to be honest. Bring it all on. If there is something I love about social media, it's the FUN new ideas to try.

Frosting dessert boards are super sweet, easy to customize for any party theme and just downright delicious. The possibilities are so endless.

If you are not the buttercream or frosting type, dessert cheeseball platters are totally hot and also customizable. In addition, I came up with this pudding dip board idea that I've had fun with from Barbie to Football. I will try anything once, friends.

This Jack Skellington Board falls under what I've happily nicknamed a BOOtercream board and I've just decided a BOO board totally works, too. On that note, let's totally BOO this.

STEPS TO MAKE A JACK SKELLINGTON BOARD

Fit a pastry bag with a round pastry tip and fill it with all of the icing. 

Begin by drawing a circle using the icing at the center of your serving board. 

Fill the entire circle, utilizing all of the icing. 

Smooth the frosting with an offset spatula to achieve a neat circle.

Use the black sparkle gel to create two tilted oval-shaped eyes and two small dots for the nose. Sketch a slightly curved line to form the smile and then add smaller vertical lines across it to resemble stitching.

Place Fudge Rounds in the top right and bottom left corners of the serving tray.

Position brownie bites in the top left and bottom right corners.

Fill the remaining white space with a variety of full-sized cookies and pretzels. 

Fill any additional empty spaces with smaller cookies, licorice wheels, gummy pumpkins, and mini marshmallows.

Add as many sour worms as desired for an extra special touch.

Serve up the Jack Skellington Dessert Board with spoons and plates for everyone to delight in.
