How to Arrange a Charming Easter Charcuterie Board
This is one of those recipes that you can have a lot of fun with and do your own setup really however you want to. I like to do these charcuterie boards every so often so I already know how I usually like to do my snack board set-ups. Here’s how I arranged this easy yet enchanting Easter display to catch eyes and delight taste buds!
- First, round up all of the sweet Easter ingredients and the required kitchen materials.
- Next, set out the wood serving tray and line it with some parchment paper sheets or wax paper. This will keep the small candies from falling between the wood boards.
- Then, arrange a few small serving bowls on the tray to hold the smaller snacks. I used 3 small bowls grouped together and 1 slightly bigger bowl on the other side of the board.
- This step allows me to arrange the snacks in an aesthetically pleasing and eye- catching manner.
- Pour some of the Hershey’s Egg Candies into the bigger serving bowl. Then, scoop the Rainbow Sparkle Jelly Bird Eggs, the Mini Fruit Marshmallows, and the homemade Easter Chocolate Covered Pretzel Bunnies and Ducklings into the 3 smaller bowls. Wrap some of the Edible Easter Grass around the bigger bowl of Hershey’s Eggs.
- Next, set out a few rows of the pink Peeps Marshmallow Candy Bunnies in one corner of the tray beside the set of smaller bowls.
- After that, line the Lemon Sandwich Cookies starting from the big bowl of eggs all the way to the set of smaller bowls.
- Next, take the homemade Carrot Chocolate Covered Pretzels and gently arrange them in the top right corner of the tray, just above the bigger bowl.
- Use the 3 DecoCookies- EASTER Eggs to fill in the remaining space between the big bowl and the smaller bowls. Use a handful of the frosted Circus Animal Cookies to fill in beside the big Easter Egg cookies.
- Then, fill in the little empty spaces and corners with the Mini Gold Chocolate Bunnies and the store- bought Chocolate Carrots.
- Next, stack the Reese’s Mallow-Top Peanut Butter Cups in the remaining large empty space in the top left corner of the tray.
- Finally, fill in any remaining empty spaces with the Birthday Cake Bunny Grahams. Serve and enjoy!

Kitchen Tips:
If you are preparing this Easter Charcuterie Board for a large group of your family and loved ones then it would be a good idea to ask about any food allergies or sensitivities so you can make separate charcuterie boards, if necessary.
Charcuterie Board Prepping and Storage Tips
- Since we’re using store- bought snacks, you want them to all taste very fresh and have the appropriate textures of freshly opened snacks. Therefore, I do not recommend setting up this holiday snack board until the day of the celebrations.
- Before deciding on my charcuterie board setup, I first like to pour all of the candies from their bags into separate bowls. This way I can see exactly how many candies I have and how big they are. This also makes it easier to store the candies apart later.
- You can, however, make the homemade Carrot Chocolate Covered Pretzels and Easter Chocolate Covered Pretzel Bunnies and Ducklings ahead of time and keep them stored properly until they’re ready to use.
- Keep the spare snacks either secured in their packages or stored separately in airtight containers. Be sure to keep them in an easily reachable spot for when it comes time for refills.
- Since we are dealing with a bunch of different sweets and differing shelf lives, it is best to keep the individual foods saved separately long term and according to their particular needs. This will also keep any of the flavors from crossing.
- However, I do like to wrap the whole board with food wrap until my guests arrive or for safe transportation.
