A year or so ago, charcuterie boards became super popular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A typical charcuterie board would consist of several types of meats, but now also can include cheese, nuts, spreads, and fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love making these boards and even focusing on sweet treats for a dessert style board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charcuterie boards, or dessert boards, are an easy way to have simple foods on hand for company and are so much fun to put together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why not make them specifically for holidays and special occasions? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"how<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can make a small board with just a few foods or a large one to incorporate more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I did focus more on desserts for my Halloween themed board, I did include chips and dip and some Halloween Ghosts and Bats Veggie Chips<\/a> for something a little salty to enjoy in between the sweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"whoopie<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The idea for the Halloween themed dessert board came from the Whoopie Pie Cookie Mix<\/a> I purchased at Walmart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s not a whole lot better than a chocolate whoopie pie<\/a> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"chocolate<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The kit baked up two dozen cookies to put together for an even dozen whoopie pies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t take pictures of the whole process, but the instructions on the box were easy to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the real stars of the show were the adorable ghost cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"white<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To make the ghost cookies, dip Nutter Butter cookies into melted white chocolate and cover completely on both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allow them to cool on wax paper, but not before adding mini chocolate chips for the eyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn’t find the mini chocolate chips in the store, so I used brown mini M&Ms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They worked just as well and looked so cute \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"nutter<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There’s really no wrong way to lay out the food on the board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I put a small plastic black cauldron from the dollar store in the middle of the board to hold the dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I layered the different types of chips on either side and then added sweets to each side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My other sweets were candy corn, yogurt and pumpkin spice covered pretzels, and little white marshmallow ghosts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"halloween<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A super easy dessert with different flavors to satisfy my whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can’t wait to do one for the Christmas holidays! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
