HOW DO YOU ARRANGE A DESSERT BOARD?

The key to a visually appealing charcuterie board is variety – particularly in terms of shapes, colors, and textures.

I also added variety with the size and shape of each pile.

Dessert Charcuterie Boards are a fun, easy, and creative dessert option. They’re perfect for holidays, ladies’ nights, book clubs, birthday parties, or date nights in.

They’re visually appealing, easy to make, and they allow guests to sample a variety of treats without committing to just one.

My favorite thing about this Chocolate Covered Dessert Charcuterie Board is that there’s something for everyone – from cookies to candies to fruit. As long as you like chocolate (and who doesn’t!?) this dessert board is guaranteed to please. 

And best of all, it’s both easy to make in advance and easy to store in case of leftovers. Simply dip and decorate the treats, then allow them to dry completely before storing them in airtight containers until they’re ready to be served.

And if you don’t have a cheese board? No problem. This dessert board can be assembled on a cookie sheet, wooden cutting board, or any type of large serving platter. It could even be divided among smaller plates or boards and would be just as amazing.
