Instructions
- Grab your favorite charcuterie board.
- Make any cookies or dip (in this recipe, they were store boughten to save time).
- Clean and cut any fruits and vegetables.
- Add any items desired to their bowls, in the case of this recipe: veggie dip, honey, jam, olives, jelly beans, and M&Ms. Place on the board.
- Add bakery items, candy, and crackers to the board.
- Then, add fruits and/or vegetables.
- Create a decorative salami rose if desired, by laying salami over a wine glass edge. Fold salami and pepperoni slices; by folding each piece in half and then in half again for a nice, raised look.
- Finally, add meats and cheeses to the board; you’ll want these added last so they can stay in the refrigerator as long as possible.
- Finish by adding any serving utensils needed such as honey dippers, cheese knives, small serving spoons, etc.
