Plus, you’re able to eat every offering on the tray without a plate or utensils.
The boards dont stop at holiday sweets, though.
You could also make your ownhot chocolateand leave out add-ins such aswhipped creamor a coffee liqueur.
Here’s how to build your own memorable dessert-filled holiday board.
Start with a Focal Point
A “dessert” board means different things to different people.
Some consider cheese as dessert; others choose fruit.
Add the baked goods and other sweets from there.
Don’t Overload Your Board
Figure on 2 to 5 ounces of food per guest.
Think of artful arrangements rather than piling heaps of candy canes and other goodies.
Finishing Touches
Your dessert board helps end the evening, so finish with special touches.
Add festive elements such as cinnamon sticks, pinecones, and edible flowers.
