Description

A fun and customizable dessert charcuterie board filled with sweets, fruits, and treats perfect for parties, holidays, or cozy nights in.


Ingredients

  • Assorted cookies (chocolate chip, shortbread, macarons)
  • Brownie bites or mini cupcakes
  • Fresh fruits (strawberries, raspberries, grapes, apple slices)
  • Assorted chocolates and truffles
  • Pretzels or chocolate-covered pretzels
  • Marshmallows
  • Caramel or chocolate dipping sauce
  • Whipped cream or dessert spreads (Nutella, peanut butter, etc.)
  • Candies or chocolate bark for decoration

Instructions

  • 1. Choose a large wooden board, tray, or platter as your base.
  • 2. Start by placing small bowls on the board for sauces, dips, and spreads.
  • 3. Arrange larger items first, like cookies, brownies, and fruits, spacing them evenly across the board.
  • 4. Fill in the gaps with chocolates, pretzels, marshmallows, and candies for color and texture.
  • 5. Add decorative elements like mint sprigs, edible flowers, or festive candies for a seasonal touch.
  • 6. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Mix flavors and textures: sweet, salty, crunchy, and creamy.
  • Use seasonal fruits and candies for a themed look (e.g., peppermint bark for Christmas or pastel candies for Easter).
  • Great for group entertaining, just provide small plates and napkins!
