Create a spooky Halloween dessert board with easy to make festive treats. Inspired by our favorite Halloween movies, this charcuterie style board is filled with mummies, witches’ cauldrons, pumpkins, spellbooks, Frankenstein cookies, ghosts, and chocolate-dipped OREO cookies.

Spooky Halloween treats for a Halloween party and scary movie night

Halloween is extra special in our household. We have a Halloween birthday in our family, so we tend to celebrate the holiday as soon as fall arrives. Watching Halloween movies every weekend leading up to Halloween night is our favorite tradition. I try to make a festive treat for us to enjoy inspired by the movies we watch together.

Halloween Movie Night Dessert Board

This year I wanted to make an epic Halloween dessert board inspired by some of our favorite Halloween movies. The spellbook chocolate covered graham crackers is a nod to Hocus Pocus. Mummy Newtons cookies represent the movie Under Wraps. Pumpkin OREO balls for It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
I picked up some of our favorite brands to create treats with at Walmart. You can find the OREO cookies, NutterButter cookies, Honey Maid graham crackers, Newtons, and ingredients to decorate them all in one place. The best part is you can also order your supplies for online pickup and delivery.
With my supplies on hand, I started working on creating the spooky dessert board filled with mummies, Frankenstein, spellbooks, and all the spooky treats I could think of. Follow along as I share an overview of each treat on the charcuterie board.

Spellbook Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers

  • Honey Maid graham crackers
  • Chocolate coating
  • Candy eyes
  • Black icing
  1. Melt 1/2-1 cup chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds.
  2. Break a graham cracker in half.
  3. Use a fork to dip the graham cracker in melted chocolate; gently tap off excess chocolate. Place on a parchment-covered baking sheet.
  4. Add a candy eye on the center-right side of the chocolate graham cracker. Allow the chocolate to set for 20 minutes (or pace in the refrigerator for a few minutes).
  5. Decorate the spellbook stitching with black icing.

Newtons Mummy Cookies

  • Newtons
  • White chocolate
  • Candy eyes
  1. Melt ½ cup white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; stir every 30 seconds. Allow the chocolate to cool for a few minutes. This will help prevent the mummy wrap lines from melting together.
  2. Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag. Cut off the tip off the bag with scissors.
  3. Quickly drizzle the chocolate over the cookies. Place candy eyes on top and let the chocolate set.

Frankenstein NutterButter Cookies

  • NutterButter cookies
  • Green candy melts
  • Black icing
  • Candy eyes
  • Black sprinkles
  1. Melt 1 cup green candy melts according to package directions.
  2. Dip a NutterButter cookie in the green candy coating, covering both sides. Tap off excess then place on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Place candy eyes on top. Let the candy melts set before decorating.
  3. Use black icing to add hair, a mouth, and eyebrows if desired.
  4. Optional: cover the hair in black jimmies.

NutterButter Ghost

  • NutterButter cookies
  • Black icing
  1. Melt white chocolate or candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Dip ¾ of the NutterButter cookie in the chocolate. Use a utensil or toothpick to create a wavy pattern at the bottom. Allow the chocolate to set.
  3. Add eyes and a mouth with black icing.

Halloween OREO Balls

  • OREO cookies, crushed
  • Cream cheese softened
  • Chocolate coating
To make OREO balls you only 3 ingredients: OREO cookies, cream cheese, and dipping chocolate. This recipe can be used to make a wide variety of holiday OREO balls. Shape them into festive shapes like a cauldron or keep them round to decorate with sprinkles.
  1. The OREO ball recipe is made with 36 OREOs and 8 ounces of cream cheese.
  2. Use a food processor to crush OREO cookies into crumbs.
  3. Combine OREO crumbs with softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
  4. Use a small cookie scoop to form 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  6. Dip in melted chocolate and decorate with sprinkles.

  • Orange candy melts
  • Orange sprinkles
  • Chocolate candy
  • Green leaf sprinkles

  • OREO balls
  • Chocolate coating
  • Green candy melts
  • Candy eyes
  • Sprinkles
  • Candy bones
  • Pretzel sticks

    OREO balls into a cauldron. Use a toothpick to help shape the top of the cauldron. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  2. Dip in melted chocolate then place back into the refrigerator for a few minutes.
  3. Decorate the top with green candy melts, candy eyes, bone sprinkles, green sprinkles, and a pretzel stick.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
