Charcuterie Board Tips
This chocolate charcuterie board is the best dessert all year-round. I love making this board for the holidays because I always have a party to go to. When I show up with this charcuterie board I am the most popular person in the room! Here are a few ideas on how to make this board your own!
- Use a Variety of Chocolate: Make sure you use different types of chocolate. Not everyone likes dark, so make sure you have milk and white options. Choose high-quality chocolate for chocolate connoisseurs.
- Add Different Fruit: If you have bowls of dipping sauce, add all kinds of fruit! Any fruit dipped in chocolate is delicious. Add sliced bananas or apples for dipping.
- Make it Kid-Friendly: For a charcuterie board that your kids will love, so add some kid-friendly treats. Chocolate-drizzled Rice Krispy treats would be a favorite for the kiddos!
Storing the Leftovers
I like to keep the packaging from the ingredients so it makes restoring them easy and convenient. It’s easy to place leftovers back in the original packaging or simply store the ingredients in zip-lock bags and then keep them in a dry cool place. It makes snacking the next day easy when you have a sweet tooth! Be sure to store leftover fruit in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
No Wood Board? No Problem!
You don’t have to have an expensive wood charcuterie board to achieve this chocolate charcuterie board. The display of sweets will speak for itself, so it doesn’t matter what is under it all. Be creative and use whatever you have on hand! Here is a list of ideas for you to create the best board.
- Baking Sheet: Rectangle shapes work too! Just grab a cookie baking sheet then start arranging your chocolate.
- Pizza Pan: The round shape does the job! A pizza pan is perfect.
- Large Platter: You most likely have a large platter in your cupboard. A large platter for serving your turkey perhaps?
- Large Cutting Board: A large cutting board works too! With any luck, it’s already wood.
- Butcher Paper: Slap some brown butcher paper on your kitchen counter. Then make it look beautiful with your dessert board.
