For holiday versions be sure to add some Christmas or Thanksgiving treats and some of our holiday dips like: Hot Chocolate Dip and Peppermint Fluff Dip.

How to Make a Dessert Charcuterie Board
- DIP. If adding a sweet dip, add this to the bowl, and put this on the bottom right of your board.
- ASSEMBLE THE BOARD. Place the apples in a small bowl and set on the tray in the upper right area. Stand the pretzel sticks upright in a small bowl and place them on the left side of the tray.
- Arrange whole strawberries between the pretzels and apples and a few down toward the brownie dip.
- Add a few rice krispie treats to the left of the dip then fill the space under the pretzels with stroopwaffles.
- Add the sugar wafers near the edge of the tray between the apples and dip. Fill the space under the apples with graham crackers.
- Place the brownie bites on a small plate next to the dessert tray. Any remaining M&Ms and chocolate chips can be placed in bowls near the tray.
Which Board to Use
- Use any size and shape board or platter that you have available. The amount of each ingredient that will fit will depend on the tray used. Keep extra ingredients on hand to replenish as needed.
- We used a circular tray but any size or shape of tray, platter, or board will work.
