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.

• Fill in gaps with smaller candies like Easter M&Ms or jelly beans. They’re not just tasty; they’re colorful fillers!
