Combine your favorite holiday treats, along with a delicious gingerbread cookie dip, to create a Christmas Sweet Snack Board for your family.
Christmas Sweet SNACK BOARD:
Boards and platters are some of our favorite sharable treats. Some of my recent favorites are the Southern Brunch Board and Antipasto Platter. While we aren’t having any big gatherings this year for the holidays, my family and I are trying to still make it special, and snack boards are a great way to add that touch.
All of the ingredients on this board is readily available at most grocery stores. The only one that is specialty is the Italian rainbow cakes, and those are from Costco. My family loves a variety of cookies and treats, including Italian rainbow cookies, biscotti, molasses cookies, and my personal favorite, a Dutch cookie called stroopwafel. There is a little bit of something for everyone to enjoy.
HOW TO BUILD A FOOD BOARD:
This board has both store-bought and homemade elements, which makes it easy to prepare. The homemade Gingerbread Dip is placed in a bowl and topped with one of my favorite sprinkle mixes “Reindeer Food” from Sweets & Treats Boutique!
We eat with our eyes first, so you have to keep in mind colors, textures, flavors, and movement when building a board or platter. It wouldn’t be as enticing if there wasn’t a variety. With the gingerbread theme, there tends to be a lot of brown, so I broke it up by using red and white bowls, and had a variety of colorful cookies. I also wanted some greenery, and garnished the board with rosemary sprigs from the garden. It gave a nice amount of color, without me worrying if I had non-edible items on the board.
TIPS, TRICKS, AND TOOLS:
- Here are a few of my favorite entertaining products, like including wood boards, bowls and accessories.
- This board focuses on my family’s favorite holiday treats. Feel free to customize for your taste
- Start by placing larger items and bowls first, then work your way down to the smaller items.
- I like to keep everything on your board edible, or food-safe.
