Create Your Galentine’s Dessert Board
A dessert board offers a sweeter alternative to charcuterie. Here’s how to create one that shines:
Step‑by‑Step Assembly
- Choose the board based on your guest count. For larger groups, use multiple boards or craft paper grazing setups.
- Start with base items like cheeses or small pastries placed evenly around the board.
- Add fresh fruit and cookies, as they take up the most space.
- Include bowls of chocolate sauce, caramel, or fruit dip.
- Fill in the gaps with candies, chocolates, and even savory nuts. Stack items to minimize refills.
