This Halloween dessert board features a Jack Skellington face piped with icing on a serving tray, surrounded by an assortment of sweets. Arrange larger treats like Fudge Rounds and brownies first, then fill in with cookies, pretzels, and candies. Finish with gummy worms for color and cover until serving.

Directions

Using a pastry bag with a round tip (or a ziploc bag with a corner snipped off), freehand the outline of Jack Skellington's face on a serving board or tray. Use a round object like a party plate as a guide. Fill in the outline with icing, then smooth with an offset spatula. For an extra smooth finish, dip the spatula in room temperature water before smoothing.

With a Wilton Sparkle Gel Frosting Pen, outline and fill in Jack's eyes, nose, and smile.

Arrange the larger sweets first: place Little Debbie Fudge Rounds in the top right and bottom left corners of the board. Add mini chocolate brownies in the top left and bottom right corners. Then add the large fudge stripe cookies.

Fill in remaining empty spaces with medium-sized treats, then smaller ones: chocolate covered pretzels, full-sized Oreos, mini Oreos, licorice wheels, gummy pumpkins, and mini marshmallows. Work from largest to smallest, saving the tiniest candies for last. Fill all gaps as much as possible.

Sprinkle a handful of gummy worms here and there for a pop of color. Choose gummies that match your party theme or favorite colors. Cover tightly with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
