Are you obsessed with individual sized candy boards for one? I am! On the note of finding ways to keep in touch with friends and family, I have been totally digging surprise gift ideas. This Candy Charcuterie Board in a Box gift idea is my latest favorite. With a cute little printable and the cutest mini favor boxes loaded with candy, this simple idea could not be more fun. I'm loving the idea of "just grab a plate and decorate"! 

Hope you don't mind, I'm trying to share quick ideas that feel cheery, whimsical but simple. Little easy projects that go hard on bringing joy but not on complicated instructions.

It's kinda my M.O. and I'm really trying to embrace it more now than ever.

It's the little things, you know? I stand behind my Cutefetti tagline. Eat. Create. Celebrate.

On that note, I hope that you like this sugary sweet idea as much as I did.

Other simple tools that you will need are some tape and scissors.

 

WHAT TO FILL YOUR CANDY BOX WITH

I used the candy board for one that I made yesterday to make this, so I figured for thought starter, I'd share those ideas here.

• Pastel Gummy Candies
• Pastel Gumballs
• Pastel Sprinkle Mixes
• Pastel Candy Coated Chocolates

Tips: Set the candy out on a small plate first to get an idea on how much candy you will need to fit in the box for the best candy charcuterie board experience.

You might want to also individually wrap candies inside so that they don't get stale.

Either wrap them by type in plastic baggies, or stick all of the contents into one bag before placing it into your favor box.
