1 cup Green Colored Shredded Coconut

Instructions

Step 1: Choose a large tray or platter as the base for your board. Evenly sprinkle the green colored shredded coconut over the surface to resemble grass.
Step 2: Arrange small bowls or clay pots on the tray where you want to group candies and smaller treats.
Step 3: Fill these bowls with Spring M&M’s, Jelly Beans, Sweetarts, Robin’s Eggs, and Chocolate Carrots.
Step 4: Surround the bowls with cookies and candies, including the sugar cookies, wafers, marshmallow eggs, Peeps, chocolate bunnies, and other items, until the entire board is filled and visually balanced.

Tips & Variations

Use a mix of bowl sizes and heights to add dimension to your board and make it more visually appealing.
Swap out any candies for seasonal favorites or individual preferences to customize your board.
For added freshness, assemble the board shortly before serving to keep cookies crisp and candies vibrant.
Include small tongs or spoons for hygienic serving, especially if serving to a crowd.

Storage

If not serving immediately, cover the board loosely with plastic wrap and store in a cool, dry place for up to one day. Avoid refrigeration to keep cookies from becoming soggy. Leftover components can be stored separately in airtight containers for up to two weeks. To refresh the board, replace any candies or cookies that lose their texture before serving again.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare the Easter Charcuterie Board ahead of time?

It’s best to assemble the board shortly before serving to keep cookies crisp and candies fresh. However, you can prepare individual components in advance and assemble the board on the day of your event.

What can I use if I can’t find green colored shredded coconut?

If green colored shredded coconut isn’t available, you can substitute with green-tinted edible paper grass or finely shredded green tissue paper for decoration, but avoid edible substitutes to maintain food safety.
