Instructions
Prepare your favorite serving tray, or you can use a large baking sheet if you don’t have a serving tray. Plan out what colors you want on the board.
Then use 3 small bowls and place them in three different areas on the board.
Fill each bowl with the smallest candies such as M&M’s, chocolate kisses, and nerd clusters.
1/2 Cup M&Ms, 1 Cup birthday hershey kisses, 1 Cup nerd clusters
Next use the large food items to place around the tray.
mini cupcakes, 6 confetti soft baked cookies, 3 fruity pebbles rice crispy treats, 6 funfetti mini poptarts
The final step is to fill in the empty space with any leftover treats.
5 rock candy suckers, 5 golden oreos, 5 mini airheads, 5 mini laffy taffys, 4 ring pops, 1 pack Airhead Xtreme Belts, 1 Cup saltwater taffy, 1 Cup Sour worms, 1 Cup watermelon Footies, 1 Cup Starbursts, 1/2 Cup iced animal crackers, 1/2 Cup Peach Rings
Serve immediately or you can cover the tray until it is ready to serve.
Notes
Use fun bowls to add interest to the board. It’s easier to work with smaller quantities and restock as needed than fit everything on the board at once.Place a small cake in the center of the charcuterie board and fill the rest of the board around it with treats as a fun way to incorporate a birthday cake without having to serve it separately.Divide treats throughout the plate. There is no reason all of the same items have to be in the same spot. Instead, try spreading them out as I did with the mini cupcakes.This board can be stored at room temperature for up to a week when covered in plastic wrap. After that, it will likely get stale. However, if you add fruits or anything perishable, make sure to follow those storage instructions.
