Start with a clean and dry large wooden serving platter or skull-shaped plate. Ensure that it's large enough to accommodate all the ingredients.
Begin by forming the top of the skull shape using the white pretzels. Arrange them in an oval or circular shape at the top of the platter.
Use the marshmallows to make your outline for the eyes. The eyes are circular and the nose is triangular.
Use the chocolate wafers to fill in the eyes.
Use the raisins to fill in the nose.
Add the yogurt-covered raisins around the outside of the eyes and nose, filling in any uncovered area mid-face.
Use marshmallows to create the outline of the mouth. Cut the Kit Kat bar perpendicular to the bars and use it as the "teeth" by positioning it inside the marshmallow outline.
Use the white chocolate chips to fill the uncovered area around the mouth, completing the lower jaw portion.
If you have any remaining ingredients, you can use them around the platter to fill any gaps and perfect your skull.
Your board is now ready to be served! Place it in the center of your table, and your guests can enjoy the sweet and spooky treat.
