Another classic, but one that never gets old. Charcuterie boards are universally liked and will appeal to a wide range of party guests, making them a perfect choice if you’re struggling to decide kind of snacks to prepare.
The Pioneer Woman does a fantastic job detailing how to put together a charcuterie board like a pro and covers everything from what to include, how to organize your board, how to prepare your board’s ingredients, and more.
A top tip of hers is to start building your charcuterie board by placing larger objects on the board first and smaller objects last.
My other favorite tip from her post is to group similar foods like cheese, crackers, and meat together.
Don’t forget to include serving utensils with your board as well so your guests can actually enjoy it!
