Prep Time
10 mins
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Suggested items:
  • Dark and Milk Chocolate (a variety of truffles, bonbons or chocolate bars cut into squares or rows.)
  • cookies (heart shaped cookies, Oreos, biscotti, shortbread, etc.)
  • fruits (a variety of strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and/or grapes.)
  • Candy (M&Ms, jelly beans, marshmallows, peanut butter hearts, cinnamon jelly hearts, conversation hearts.)
  • nuts (a variety of almonds, cashews, macadamias, pecans, walnuts, peanuts, Brazil nuts and/or pistachios.)
  • Baked Goods (cupcakes, brownies, dessert bars or muffins.)
  • Chocolate Covered Strawberries
  • pretzels (plain or covered with chocolate or yogurt.)
  • debi lilly design™ Red Roses to decorate

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Start by choosing a large (or small) enough board or platter.
  2. Scatter the bigger items, like cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries and cookies, and items that go in bowls, like smaller candies.
  3. Fill the remaining space with the smaller pieces, like nuts and berries.
  4. Finally, decorate the board by adding beautiful debi lilly design™ red roses to the empty spaces and edges!

Notes

  • How much candy per person?
  • A good rule of thumb is to calculate about 4 ounces of smaller treats and one bigger item per person. If you’re using bowls, make sure to buy enough candy to fill them.
  • Assembling ahead of time:
  • If it's not too hot where you'll be serving your dessert board, you can assemble up to 2 hours in advance if you keep the board covered with foil or plastic wrap.
