Instructions
Start with a large board or platter. Use a wooden charcuterie board, a serving tray, or a large plate.
Place larger items first. Arrange chocolate bunnies, cookies, and mini cupcakes as the focal points.
Fill in with candies. Scatter mini chocolate eggs, jelly beans, and Peeps around the larger items.
Add fresh fruit. Place strawberries, grapes, and other fresh fruit to add pops of color and balance.
Incorporate texture. Mix in popcorn, chocolate-covered pretzels, or mini marshmallows for variety.
Final touches. Adjust the placement to make sure the board looks full and vibrant. Use small bowls for loose candies if needed.
Serve and enjoy! This board is perfect for Easter parties, family gatherings, or as a festive dessert platter.
Notes
Use a mix of textures and flavors to keep the board visually interesting.
Add small bowls or cupcake liners to separate sticky or small items.
If making ahead, store cookies and chocolates in an airtight container to prevent melting.
