Charcuterie is a french word that references prepared and cured cold meats. It is often paired with cheese, fruits, nuts and crackers when served on a charcuterie board.

They are becoming very popular not only for your favorite meats and cheeses but sweets too.

How to Make Easter Charcuterie Board: 

• Pick out your board – Start with large board, using one with edges is easiest. If you prefer, you can line it with parchment paper.

• Start spreading out candy – Place some of the candy in smalls bowls and scatter them throughout the board.  We put the funfetti jelly beans and the regular M&Ms in a small bowl.  

• Add the Larger Candy – Then add in the large items: peeps, Cadbury Eggs, Yogurt Pretzels and the Bunny marshmallows.  

• Fill in spaces – Finally fill in the open spaces with the other types of candy.  

• Balance out the board with candy – When assembling our board, we find that it’s best not to group all of the same items in one place on the board.  We like to scatter the item around the board for a more appealing look. 

• Add the Chocolate Bunny – Once it’s assembled the board, place the chocolate bunny on top and then it’s ready to share with your friends and family.

Preparing your Charcuterie Board:

There are many different ways to create charcuterie boards. Charcuterie boards can contain your sweet and savory treats and cured meats. Desserts grazing boards are popular because you can do bake goods or candy and they become an instant crowd pleaser.

• Pick a Color Scheme – Picking allows you to focus on a specific theme when choosing your candy. Add in small bowls of M&M’s, jelly beans and chocolate eggs to give it some height. We like to make birds nest to complete the board.
• Choose 10 to 12 Items – For a variety of candies, we recommend choosing at least 10 different types of candy. This gives your dessert board eye-appeal and makes all the fun colors pop.
• Pick a Board – Choose a board for how big your crowd is. Everyone loves to graze when you have a holiday get-together. We like to make sure it has edges on the side. You can even use a cutting board.

Arranging the Treats:

When creating a charcuterie board we recommend putting the food items in small groups. When we prepare a meat and cheese board, we get different types of meat and cheese and place in small groups.

You can focus on making your candy or other food items symmetrical or arrange them at random. Once you start with adding the candy then it becomes easy to make changes once everything is on the tray to get tight fit.

Add in small bowels to give your tray some height. The location of the bowls and the placement of the candies gives the tray an appealing look.
