How to Make Halloween Dessert Board

Brownie Batter Dip

In a big bowl, beat together butter and cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the cool whip until it's all mixed in. Add the brownie mix and milk, then beat until everything is smooth. Spoon the dip into a large ramekin and smooth out the top. Using the white cookie frosting, pipe a spooky spiderweb on top of the dip. Enjoy with cookies, fruit, pretzels, or graham crackers! Dive in and have a blast!

Mummy Cookies

Pipe white cookie frosting in angled lines all over the iced oatmeal cookie. Add two candy eyes near the top. Sprinkle white sanding sugar over the frosting and gently tap off the excess.

Frankenstein’s Monster Pretzels

Start by melting the green chocolate wafers on half power, using 30-second bursts and giving them a good stir in between. Once it's smooth, dip those snap pretzels in. Lay them out on parchment paper to set.

Before they harden, place two candy eyes in the center of each pretzel. Add two black sphere sprinkles on the sides to look like Frankenstein's bolts. Don't forget to sprinkle on a mouth.

Once everything's set, pipe on some black cookie frosting for Frankenstein's wild hair.

Halloween Pretzel Rods

Melt your orange melting wafers on half power in 30-second bursts, stirring in between each one until you get that smooth consistency. Pour the melted chocolate into a tall cup and dip half of each pretzel rod in, letting the excess drip off. Sprinkle festive Halloween sprinkles over the chocolate, then place the pretzels onto parchment or wax paper to set.

Ghost Strawberries

Melt white chocolate melting wafers on half power in 30-second bursts, stirring in between. Dip each strawberry into the chocolate, and place them onto parchment or wax paper.

Once they're set, grab a food-safe marker and draw eyes and a mouth on each strawberry.

Halloween Board

Place the brownie dip ramekin right in the center of the board. Then, add two small bowls of Reese’s Pieces and candy corn mix at the top and bottom corners. Get creative and arrange the cookies, apple slices, pretzels, and strawberries around the brownie batter dip. Serve up this sweet spread and enjoy every delicious bite!
