Notes
- You can place and choose ingredients to your liking! This takes a little bit of finessing but once you start, it's pretty easy to fill in and create a cute, decorative board.
- To store, cover board in plastic wrap and store in refrigerator. It's best to not leave it at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
