What is a Halloween Frosting Board?
A frosting board is a spin off from the butter board recipes. You place frosting in the middle of a cutting board or other board and then offer a variety of dippers to dip into the frosting.
I made my frosting into the shape of a giant candy corn, but you can create your own design.
I know candy corn is controversial, and many people don't like the texture. If this is you, then try freeze dried candy corn. You get all the flavor in a crunchy candy.
For Christmas, try this gnome Christmas frosting board recipe.

Halloween Frosting Board Recipe Tips
Here are some tips for making a Halloween buttercream board:
- The oil in the buttercream frosting may stain a wood cutting board. You can put the frosting on parchment paper to prevent staining.
- Choose 4-6 dippers for your frosting board. You don't need to include every dipper mentioned above.
- Reserve some dippers to refill. I also add more icing if people are still eating from it before the party is over.
- Use store bought frosting in a fan or from the bakery for an easy Halloween treat for a party. You can also make your buttercream from scratch if you desire.
- I made a candy corn shape, but you can get creative and make a pumpkin or other shape.

How to Make a Halloween Frosting Board Recipe
Step #1
Use the white, yellow, and orange frosting to create a piece of candy corn on the tray. I used a knife to spread the frosting, but you can pipe if you prefer.
Step #2
Spread the cookies and other dippers around the candy corn frosting.
Step #3
Serve with a set of tongs for grabbing dippers and a spoon or butter spreader for serving the frosting.
Enjoy!
