Charcuterie Boards

 

Putting together charcuterie boards is simply fun!

 

With countless creative ideas to explore, the options are virtually limitless.

I love putting together a gorgeous charcuterie board for a party or holiday gathering. These are some cleaver charcuterie board ideas, from a traditional spread of cured meats and cheeses to all types of creative themed versions (hot chocolate, anyone?).

No matter how you define them, charcuterie boards are here to stay. These creative snack boards are endlessly customizable and fun to put together, with so many variations to choose from beyond the traditional spread of cured meats and cheeses.

 

Classic Charcuterie Board

Knowing how to make a charcuterie board is an invaluable skill to have as a host. After you learn how to put together a classic board, the sky is the limit for other creative spreads!

Choose three cheeses, three meats, three starches, and three accompaniments for a perfect and balanced board, every time! (3-3-3-3 Rule for Charcuterie Boards)

  • Make it COLORFUL! I love to add color through fruit, like bright red apples, green and red grapes, strawberries, raspberries or blueberries.

  • Keep it simple! This may seem obvious, but design your board based on the people who will be eating from it and fill it with simple foods that people actually LIKE! When in doubt, avoid fancy and expensive cheeses, nuts, crackers or condiments that the people you’re serving may not care for.

Holiday Cheese Board

Cheese. Glorious, wonderful, fantastic cheese. I love a good cheese plate year round but they are especially great during the holidays. What I love so much about a cheese board or charcuterie board is that it is completely adaptable to different seasons and occasions.

 

Chocolate!

Chocolate lovers will go crazy for decadent chocolate charcuterie board. If you ask us, there’s no such thing as too much chocolate!

My favorite part of this board is that the possibilities are endless. Add anything to the board that is made with chocolate or that pairs well with chocolate. This board is so fun to make!

The best part of a hot chocolate “charcuterie” board has got to be a hot chocolate bomb! Pour hot milk over them and they’ll “explode” in your cup to create the perfect mug of hot chocolate.
