Common Questions About Easter Candy Charcuterie Board

What if I can’t find specific Easter candies?

No worries! Visit your local grocery store and pick any colorful candies that catch your eye. The beauty of these boards is their flexibility and creativity.

You can come up with all kinds of Easter charcuterie board ideas that don’t even involve my list of ingredients!

Is it okay to mix homemade treats with store-bought candies?

Definitely! Homemade treats like Easter bread, chocolate-covered strawberries, or peanut butter eggs can be a great addition and show off your baking skills. Again, add in whatever sounds good to you!

Can I prepare my charcuterie board ahead of the Easter weekend?

You can prep most of the board in advance, especially all of the little wrapped candies. It’s best to assemble it on the day, though, to keep everything else looking fresh and inviting.

Storage

Back when I was a kid, we never called it a charcuterie board. Most of the time, it was just meat, cheese, and crackers. Ha! This Easter dessert board is super fun, though!

Refrigerator

Freshly baked items and chocolate-covered fruits should be stored in the fridge if not consumed the same day.

Room Temperature

Most candies and chocolates can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips

This board is a great way to change things up a bit. I know we all do the Easter baskets. This can be a fun idea, though that brings together all your favorite candies in a fun, new way.

  • Start with larger items like chocolate bunnies and Easter-decorated cupcakes as anchors for your board.
  • Fill in gaps with smaller candies like Easter M&Ms or jelly beans. They’re not just tasty; they’re colorful fillers!
  • Don’t forget the edible grass or fresh herbs for that spring vibe and a pop of color.
  • Chocolate-covered pretzels add a lovely salty-sweet contrast to all the sweetness.

Ingredients

These are the candies and such that I picked for our version at home. Feel free to change things up, as always!

  • White chocolate-covered pretzels
  • Jelly beans
  • Strawberry wafer cookies
  • Lindt chocolate bunnies
  • Rainbow marshmallows
  • Pastel sugar cookies

Instructions

  • Select the ingredients and the display board.

  • We suggest that super small ingredients such as sprinkles, chocolate chips, etc. (if applicable) be displayed in a bowl to keep items organized and contained.

  • Begin with the larger ingredients and place them around the board.

  • Follow up with some medium size ingredients to fill in the spaces. Adjust ingredients and quantities as you create space and fill the board.

  • Finally, place the smaller items in any gaps and continue to adjust to accommodate the ingredients. Add more items or take some away, if needed.

Notes

Tips – small pieces such as M&M’s are good to fill in the awkward gaps between the larger items and help fill voids – save those ingredients for last.

Dessert boards are very forgiving. Use any combination of ingredients or substitute with others that fit the Easter and pastel color theme. We used store-bought bakery items, but homemade would work as well!

The size of your display board will determine how many options and how much you’ll need to get. Any items that don’t fit on the board can be served next to it in nice display containers, etc.

Storage: Any leftover items should be stored in an airtight container. If they are fresh baked goods, it’s best to store them in the fridge for up to 2 days.
