LARGE WOODEN CUTTING BOARD

BIG PADDLE BOARD WITH HANDLE

LARGE ROUND METAL SERVING TRAY WITH HANDLES

After picking the tray you will be using, grab a couple small bowls. Plus, I also like to select a larger dish for the center.

This delicious, fun and festive Christmas charcuterie board is incredibly easy to make, and even better to eat! The perfect addition to any holiday festivities, parties or family gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 package green & red M&Ms
  • 1 large bunch green grapes (washed & dried)
  • 1 canister Pirouline rolled wafers
  • 1 bag Christmas Hershey Kisses
  • 1 bag Flipz yogurt covered pretzels
  • 1 bag Fisher pecan halves (or your nut of choice)
  • 1 bag Tostito's tortilla chips
  • 1 jar Pace chunky salsa
  • 1 package Philadelphia cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 jar Tobasco pepper jelly mild (or spicy if you like the heat)
  • 1 package Wheat Thins
  • 1 package Ritz crackers
  • 1 package pepperonis
  • 1 block monterey jack cheese (or cheese of your choice)
  • 1 small metal Christmas cookie cutter (I used a candy cane)

Instructions

  1. Find a large board or tray in your home. It could be a large serving platter, a large cutting board (my favorite) or a large party platter.
  2. Gather 3 smaller dishes and fill with the salsa, M&Ms and pecan halves. I try to get dishes that are all the same color, but feel free to be creative when designing your board.
  3. Find one skinny rectangular dish for your crackers, cream cheese and pepper jelly.
  4. Place the cream cheese at one end of your rectangular dish and spoon the pepper jelly over top.
  5. Make lines of crackers leading up to the pepper jelly. I did two lines of wheat thins on the edges, with one line of Ritz crackers down the middle. Put this dish towards the center of your board as a great starting point.
  6. Choose one tall dish, similar to a glass to display your Pirouette sticks. Put the pirouette sticks in the glass and place on your board.
  7. Place your three small dishes filled with M&Ms, pecan halves and salsa on your board.
  8. Slice the block of cheese and use your Christmas cookie cutter to make candy canes out of your slices of cheese.
  9. Set out approximately 8-12 ritz crackers in a group on your board and place a pepperoni on each one. Place the candy cane cheese cut out on top of the pepperoni as shown in the pictures.
  10. Gather the rest of the ingredients and begin designing your board.
  11. Add the chips around the dish of salsa.
  12. Put a few bunches of green grapes on your board.
  13. Add the yogurt covered pretzels to an area on your board.
  14. Place the Christmas colored Hershey Kisses around your board, or in a cluster where a filler is needed.
  15. TIP: If you are having a large gathering, it may be a good idea to prepare extra cheese cutouts and keep the remainder of the ingredients close by so you can keep restocking the board throughout your get together.
