Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by crushing 10 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Set aside.
  2. On a large serving tray or charcuterie board, spread the entire container of chocolate frosting into the center of the tray.
  3. Evenly sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies over the frosting to create the 'dirt' effect.
  4. Arrange the Little Debbie Fudge Rounds in the top left and bottom right corners of the board.
  5. Place the Little Debbie Frosted Fudge Cakes in the top right and bottom left corners.
  6. Fill the remaining outside edges of the board with a variety of sweet treats for dipping, such as brownie bites, mini bundt cakes, Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies, chocolate donut holes, and chocolate covered pretzels.
  7. Add mini Oreos, mini chocolate cupcakes, and Hershey chocolate bars to fill in any gaps on the board, ensuring a full and inviting display. Sprinkle the Halloween sprinkles onto the crushed Oreo 'dirt'.
  8. To add a Halloween touch, strategically place the candy eyes, tombstone decorations, and ghost decorations on the board. Finally, sprinkle the gummy worms all over the board, making them look like they're crawling out of the 'dirt'.

Notes

This dessert board is perfect for Halloween parties and gatherings. You can assemble it ahead of time; simply wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and store it in a cool place. If refrigerated, allow it to sit at room temperature for about an hour before serving for optimal frosting consistency. If the frosting runs low during your event, feel free to add more as needed. Leftovers can be enjoyed later or disassembled for individual snacks.
