Ingredients

6 Frosted sugar cookies
3-5 Mini Lemon Bites

6 Vanilla Wafers
6 Strawberry Wafers

6 Golden Oreos
6 Pepperidge Farm Chessmen Spring shapes

6 Vanilla Pirouettes
6-8 Ghirardelli chocolate bunnies
8-12 Bunny and bird Peeps

3-4 Lindt Chocolate Carrots
6 Palmer Double Crisp Bunny Treats Carrots
3 Milk Marshmallow Eggs

1 Solid Milk Chocolate Bunny
1 cup Annie’s Bunny Grahams
1 cup Spring M&M’s

1 cup Sweetarts
1 cup Junior Mints Eggs
½ cup Robins Eggs Malted Candy

½ cup Jelly Beans
½ cup Sour Patch Kids
1 cup Green Colored Shredded Coconut

Instructions

Step 1: Grab a large tray or platter and sprinkle the green colored shredded coconut evenly over it to create a grassy base.
Step 2: Arrange bowls and small clay pots on the tray where you want to place candies and smaller treats.
Step 3: Fill the bowls with Spring M&M’s, Jelly Beans, Sweetarts, Robins Eggs, and Chocolate Carrots for variety and color.

Step 4: Fill in the spaces around the bowls with the cookies, marshmallow eggs, Peeps, chocolate bunnies, wafers, and other treats until the tray looks full and inviting.

Tips & Variations

Use a variety of cookie shapes and colors to add visual interest. Consider adding fresh fruit for a fresh contrast to the sweets.
Replace the green shredded coconut with edible green sprinkles or fresh herb leaves for a different texture and aroma.

Choose allergy-friendly or gluten-free alternatives if needed to accommodate guests.

Storage

Store any leftovers covered loosely with plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigeration as it can cause cookies and chocolates to lose texture. For best flavor and freshness, consume within a day after assembling.

How to Serve

A colorful Easter-themed tray sits on a white marbled surface, packed with various treats. In the foreground, a small brown flowerpot holds four green candy umbrellas shaped like carrot tops, each with a bright green curved handle. Surrounding the pot are speckled candy eggs in blue, pink, and green. To the right, light brown wafer cookies are stacked in two layers with a waffle texture, positioned above round chocolate eggs with pastel colors and speckles. Behind the wafers, rolled wafer sticks with a light tan color and visible chocolate streaks are neatly lined up. In the back section, there are cream-colored rectangular crackers with an orange diamond-shaped pattern stacked vertically, next to a small white bowl filled with pastel round candies in green, yellow, pink, purple, and blue. Scattered around are bunny-shaped cookies and small Ghirardelli chocolate bars wrapped in blue and gold foil printed with white bunny images, completing the joyful assortment. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare the Easter Charcuterie Board in advance?

Yes, you can assemble the board a few hours in advance, but it’s best to add delicate items like Peeps and shredded coconut just before serving to keep them fresh.

What can I use if I don’t have a large tray?

You can use a large cutting board, serving platter, or even a flat baking sheet lined with parchment paper to create your charcuterie board.
