Notes
- Nutrition Note: Nutrition facts for this recipe are not calculated correctly as the nutrition will be totally dependent on how much of each item people eat.
- Use sprinkles and small candies (like the candy stars I used on my board) to really make the board pop.
- Break up colors and sizes on your board unless you want to do something like an American flag with white stripes, red stripes, and a blue section for stars. Otherwise, try to break up color blocks with other colors.
- Store any leftovers in the fridge covered in plastic wrap if you want to continue to graze from the charcuterie board. Or if you’re just going to eat things separately, store individuals items in an airtight container according to their individual store info.
- Keep the board refrigerated until the last moment possible during summer months when the food will get warmed up quickly. Most of the items on this board in particular are best chilled but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
- Use cookie cutters to add fun themed elements to your board. For this particular one, stars were a great addition! You can also take pretty much anything and make it themed with the addition of candy melts and sprinkles!
