# Pastel Spooky Halloween Butter Board That Looks Scary Good

This pastel spooky Halloween butter board is the prettiest thing on the table and takes almost no time to put together. Lavender, mint, and blush butters with Halloween toppings make it a total crowd pleaser.

- **Prep time:** 20 mins
- **Cook time:** 0 mins
- **Serves:** 8 servings

## Ingredients

- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, fully softened to room temperature
- Pastel purple gel food coloring
- Pastel mint green gel food coloring
- Pastel pink gel food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided among the butter portions
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, optional for a slightly sweet butter
- 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt for finishing
- 2 tablespoons Halloween sprinkle mix
- 2 tablespoons candy eyes in assorted sizes
- 1 tablespoon edible black star or bat sprinkles
- 1 tablespoon edible glitter in silver or iridescent
- Small fondant ghost decorations, store bought or homemade
- Shortbread cookies, graham crackers, and pretzel crisps for serving

## Method

1. **Divide and color the butter.** Split the softened butter into three roughly equal portions in three small bowls. Add a tiny amount of pastel purple gel coloring to the first, pastel mint green to the second, and pastel pink to the third. Mix each portion well with a spoon until the color is fully blended and even. Add a few drops of vanilla extract to each and stir in the powdered sugar if using.
2. **Spread the butter onto the board.** Choose a large wooden charcuterie board or a flat slate board. Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, drop spoonfuls of each colored butter onto the board in clusters. Then gently swipe and swirl them together, letting the colors blend slightly at the edges while keeping distinct patches of each color visible. Do not overmix or you will lose the pastel effect.
3. **Decorate with Halloween toppings.** Scatter the Halloween sprinkle mix evenly across the butter surface. Press candy eyes gently into the butter at random intervals. Add the bat or star sprinkles and any fondant ghost decorations. Finish with a light dusting of edible glitter and a pinch of flaky sea salt across the top.
4. **Chill briefly before serving.** Place the decorated board into the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes so the butter firms up slightly. This helps the decorations stay in place and makes the board easier to scoop from. Take it out about 10 minutes before guests arrive so the butter softens just enough for easy spreading.
5. **Serve with dippers.** Arrange shortbread cookies, graham crackers, and pretzel crisps around the board or in a basket alongside it. Provide small spreading knives or cocktail spreaders so guests can easily scoop and spread the butter onto their chosen dipper. Refresh the board with any fallen decorations before serving if needed.
