How To Make A Harry Potter Butterbeer Frosting Board
Step 1: Prep the Cream Soda
Pour your cream soda into a saucepan, put it on medium heat, and allow the soda to boil.
Once it comes to a boil, turn the heat to low and allow the soda to reduce until it is half for about 12 minutes.
Let it cool to room temperature, then place it in a bowl for storage.
Step 2: Make the Frosting
Chop your butterscotch chips with a knife or food processor. Place them in a small bowl or parchment paper for later.
Next, place your butter in a large bowl and mix it with your electric mixer until it is light and fluffy for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add in your powdered sugar, vanilla extract, reduced cream soda, and heavy whipping cream.
Gradually mix all the ingredients using your electric mixer.
Mix it for 1 to 2 minutes or until it's combined and smooth.
Next, fold your half-chopped butterscotch chips using your spatula until the mixture is well incorporated.Â
Step 3: Assemble the Board
Grab your cutting board, and make sure it’s clean and dry.
Lay it on a flat clean place, then gather your frosting and snacks that are going on your board.
Using your spatula, take some of the frosting from the bowl and spread it starting from the top of the board.
Make sure to leave a decent amount of space around the edges of the board. About a half inch or more.
Leave extra space toward the handle. So it will be easy to transfer the board if needed.
Sprinkle your remaining butterscotch chips all over your frosting. Grab your Harry Potter theme sprinkles and generously sprinkle those all over the butter beer frosting.
Next, take your cookies, crackers, or other snacks and place them on the open spaces of the board.
Be sure to leave space on the edge so the snacks don’t fall off.Â
Place your board on a table and enjoy

Popular Substitutions & Additions
As this board can be completely customized to your liking, aim for variety.

All the snacks surrounding the board are also optional and can be substituted for something of your choosing.
For a little extra flair, try adding the following:
- fresh fruits and vegetables
- mixed nuts
- something salty to balance out the sweetness
