When creating your own candy charcuterie board at home, there are a couple of key points to keep in mind to help you. The first? Remember that abundance is key to putting together a stunning board. Secondly... choosing a strong color theme with 3-4 colors is best. It will help you plan your purchases well and help you create the most eye-catching candy party dessert possible.

For this board, I chose shades of purple, green and blue. I was going to add pink in the mix, but it felt too visually overwhelming and I like to keep my candy board themes very tight for the best look.

TIPS FOR SETTING UP A CANDY CHARCUTERIE BOARD 

  1. Once you select your large tray or board, it's time to place your candies perfectly for the best look.
  2. To make your board pop. Be sure to stick to the 3-4 colors and alternate them as best you can when you place your items down.
  3. Select fillers to use as a base like smaller candies and sprinkles. These will help you to fill up the entire tray or board to give that feeling of abundance that you want.
  4. After you place all of your main mermaid candies and treats, go back in with smaller filler candies/sprinkles to fill in any unexpected spaces.
