A wooden board placed on red and black checkered cloth holds a festive snack arrangement. In the center, a white bowl filled with white creamy dip topped with red and green sprinkles is surrounded by layers of snacks: green grapes form the base layer, followed by sections of red strawberries and raspberries. Around the bowl, there are chocolate-dipped wafer bars decorated like reindeer with pretzel antlers, candy eyes, and red candy noses. On the right, white chocolate-covered cookies shaped like Christmas trees are drizzled with red lines and green sprinkles. Dark chocolate sandwich cookies decorated with green Christmas tree shapes and colorful round sprinkles sit near the bottom right.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the fruit dip by combining the whipped topping, marshmallow fluff, and cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Use a hand or stand mixer on medium speed to blend until smooth and fluffy. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with red and green sanding sugar on top.

Step 2: Make the Christmas tree Oreos by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package instructions. Dip each Oreo halfway into the melted white chocolate and place on the baking sheet to cool. Chill in the fridge if needed.

Step 3: Melt the green chocolate wafers and transfer to a piping bag with a fine tip. Pipe small Christmas tree shapes onto the white chocolate-dipped Oreos and decorate with multicolor sprinkles. Let them set completely.

Step 4: Craft the wafer reindeers by lining another baking sheet with parchment paper. Break pretzels into smaller pieces to form antlers.

Step 5: Melt the chocolate wafers and dip each vanilla wafer bar halfway into the melted chocolate. Place on the baking sheet and attach pretzel antlers at the top, candy eyes in the middle, and a red M&M as the nose. Allow to set completely.

Step 6: Assemble the board by placing the fruit dip bowl in the center of a large platter. Arrange the decorated reindeer wafers and Christmas tree Oreos around the edges. Fill in gaps with Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, fresh strawberries, raspberries, grapes, and red and green M&Ms.

Step 7: Serve and enjoy your festive holiday charcuterie board with friends and family!

FAQs

Can I make the fruit dip ahead of time?

Yes, the fruit dip can be made a day in advance and kept refrigerated. Stir gently before serving if it separates slightly.

What if I don’t have melting wafers?

You can substitute melting wafers with good-quality white or colored candy melts found at most craft stores or use chopped chocolate chips melted gently with a little shortening.
