What is a Charcuterie Board?
Charcuterie boards (pronounced “shar-KOO-tuh-ree”) are a trend that I have seen popping up everywhere! “Charcuterie” is a French term for displaying a variety of cured meats, mostly pork. Originally they included things like salami, prosciutto, and sausages. However, modern charcuterie boards can have any variety of meats, cheeses, fruits, veggies, olives, nuts, and sauces. Typically the boards are arranged in an aesthetically pleasing and abundant fashion.

So, What is a Candy Charcuterie Board?
Since the idea of charcuterie boards have become so popular, people have taken the idea and run with it! Candy charcuterie boards are arranged in the same smorgasbord style but with all sweets and treats instead of meats and cheeses. They are so fun and you can tailor them to any theme. I chose a Movie Night theme because it is good year round! However, you can make one for Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, birthday parties – pretty much any occasion.

How to Make a Candy Charcuterie Board
It can be so overwhelming to try and decide what to put on your dessert charcuterie board. So, I would suggest heading to a grocery store with a bulk section. That way, you can get a variety of different types of candies without having to buy a huge bag of each one. Try to choose items with different sizes, textures, colors, shapes, and flavor. I like a little bit of everything – sweet, salty, crunch, creamy, chocolate, fruit, etc.
