Do you put sweets on a charcuterie board?

A traditional charcuterie board is going to be focused on the meats (salami, prosciutto, etc.) and cheeses but you can make an untraditional, but fun dessert charcuterie board and load it up with sweets!

What are good dessert cheeses?

If you're looking for some cheese to pair with dessert Brie, Goat Cheese, Fontina, and Gouda are all great options!

Instructions

Prep the Fruit (if using) - If you're adding fruit to the board, rinse and dry well. It's optional to slice the berries or leave them whole.
Add Bowls of Nutella, Nuts, etc - Adding the small bowls first serves as 'anchors' that you can arrange the other ingredients around.
Arrange Cookies and Treats - Start adding the cookies. For the best presentation, I like to add the treats in clumps trying to avoid putting similar colors/shapes next to each other. Check out the photo for inspiration! It's easiest to start with the bigger cookies first, then fill in the gaps with the smaller things.

Notes

Leftovers? I recommend storing the different ingredients with their like items. Leftover cookies and treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several days. The berries can be stored in the fridge. And nuts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of weeks.
