    Why you'll love this dessert charcuterie board

    • Perfect for a crowd: Rather than worrying about cutting and serving a large dessert, you can leave this gorgeous charcuterie board out (and even in several locations!) so everyone can snack on the sweets throughout the party. 
    • Best way to use up leftover holiday treats: I'm sure you've been baking up a storm for the holidays, so if you have any leftover cookies or other treats stowed away in your freezer, this is the best way to use them all up!

    Elements of the best dessert charcuterie board

    • Various Flavors: To appease everyone's preferences, choose a variety of holiday flavors, such as gingerbread, peppermint, caramel, and cranberry. 
    • Mixed Textures: Just like a traditional savory charcuterie board, a mix of textures is essential! I love the variation of soft marshmallows, crisp meringues, crunchy caramel popcorn, and juicy cranberries. 
    • Festive Colors: Add fresh rosemary, sprinkles, or holiday candy to make this Christmas tree charcuterie board extra festive!
