Easy dessert Charcuterie board

0 First, start by placing the bigger objects in a cutting board or wooden board. I started with my spreads, which I placed in small bowls in the center of my board. If using jams, make sure to place a small spoon for easy serving. If you're not using spreads or dips, you can also place something small like nuts, chocolate chips or cranberries in a small bowl and start from there.
1 Second, I added the next biggest items in my ingredients' list: the Dutch Stroopwafels, followed by the chocolate butter cookies. Arrange them around your spreads, and try to place them in an orderly manner. You can see here that I used 2 cookies with 2 different shapes and colors, and some of them were placed with the cookie facing up. Variety and the change of color creates interest in your board.
2 Third, were the circular, medium sized treats. You can place them to start filling the gaps around your spreads and in the corners of your board. If they're not flat like the cookies, and they're circular or with a cubed form, you can pack them in small heaps around the board. I repeated 3 to 4 heaps of each ingredient, but this will depend on how many ingredients you have. If you're using fresh fruit, make sure to cut a few slices to break the pattern and create different sizes
3 I then added the pretzel sticks, which I loved how these had a completely different shape from everything else. I placed them in the thin and long spaces between the ingredients, filling the board even more.
4 Following the pretzel sticks came the second to last smallest ingredients. Chocolate covered almonds, raspberries and apricots. Again, I placed them in the gaps, in small heaps in 2 or 3 different places.
5 Lastly came the smallest of them all: the nuts. Use them to fill any gaps there are on your board. If possible, use more than 1 variety.
