Ingredients

Instructions
- Place the biggest items such as your bowls of dip on the board. No need to fill with dips at this time, just move the bowls around for placement ideas.
- Then fill the bowls and starting adding larger items like cheese, brownies, cookies, and fruit. Working from larger items to smaller allows for more easily getting a visual idea of how the board will look.
- Fill in the gaps with smaller items like small candy, nuts, and chocolates. You can also add any garnishes like edible flowers or fun themed or holiday decorations.
- If assembling ahead of time, add any perishable items such as dips and cheese right before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Consider incorporating some salty or savory snacks, like popcorn, pretzels, or peanut butter to balance out the sweetness of the board.
- I’ve found its better to have a variety of stuff on the board and refill as people eat, rather than put everything out at once.
- For anything that needs to be refrigerated such as dessert dips, you can add the bowls to the serving platter and then fill the dip right before serving.
