Preparing Your Halloween Frosting Board

Step 1: Prepping The OREOs

Begin by roughly crushing and crumbling 10 OREO Cookies, and set them aside for now. These will add a nice crunch amidst the smooth frosting.

Step 2: Laying The Frosting Foundation

Grab your offset spatula and generously spread the entire container of chocolate frosting into the center of a clean serving tray. This acts as a delightful adhesive base for the rest of our ingredients.

Step 3: Adding The OREO Crunch

Sprinkle all of the crushed OREO cookies on top of the frosting, creating a textured layer that’s visually appealing and tantalizing to the taste buds.

Step 4: Positioning The Fudge Rounds

Place Fudge Rounds at your serving tray's top left and bottom right corners. Their round shape contrasts the square tray, and their rich flavor enhances the chocolatey theme.

Step 5: Aligning The Frosted Fudge Cakes

Add Little Debbie Frosted Fudge Cakes to the top right and bottom left corners. These cakes will add a different texture and a sweet fudge flavor that pairs well with the chocolate frosting.

Step 6: OREO Perimeter

Arrange the remaining OREO cookies around the serving tray's top, bottom, and sides, creating a border that holds in the sweetness about to unfold.

Step 7: Filling In With Brownie Delights

Fill in the rest of the outside edges of the tray with brownie bites, cosmic brownies, and mini bundt cakes. These brownie varieties will give different textures and chocolate intensities.

Step 8: Populating With Mini Treats

Fill the remaining spaces with mini cupcakes, donut holes, chocolate bars, and Pinwheel cookies. These mini treats make the board look abundant and provide different flavor profiles.

Step 9: The Mini OREO Fill

Fill in any smaller gaps and spaces with mini OREO cookies. They are cute, they are crunchy, and they complete our frosting board by filling in any empty spaces.

Step 10: Sprinkling Magic

Add a few pinches of sprinkles over the crushed OREO in the center of the tray. Place ghost and tomb icing decorations to adorn the center, bringing in that eerie Halloween vibe.

Step 11: Gummy Worm Invasion

Lastly, spread the gummy worms out over the entire serving tray, adding a fun and spooky touch to your Halloween frosting board.

Step 12: Ready to Serve

Your frosting board is now ready to bewitch your guests. Serve with spoons and plates, and watch the magic unfold as your guests dive into this sinful sweetness.

Tips:

• Use store-bought dirt pudding or chocolate pudding for quick and easy dirt.
• Try different cookies like chocolate wafer cookies or chocolate graham crackers for the crushed dirt.
• Mix in Halloween sprinkles, coconut flakes, or crushed cookies for texture.
• Add extra spooky elements like skeleton hands, bones, or spiders.
• For food allergies, swap in yogurt or non-dairy pudding for the dirt. Use vegan chocolate and gummies.
• Keep components refrigerated until ready to serve for optimal freshness.
• Have extras on hand to refill the platter if needed.
