Charcuterie Boards are all the rage, so why not an Easter Charcuterie Board. I’ve got so many tips and tricks you won’t want to miss from choosing the perfect size board, to what to put on it and let’s not forget about those little details.
Many like to celebrate Easter with bunny rabbits, candy eggs, chocolate and sweet candy treats. So let’s get building. I’ll show you how!
Determine the Size of Board you need
If you know how many people you want to feed, building a Charcuterie board becomes easy.
When choosing a board or tray, think of how many people you wish you serve. Maybe it’s a special dessert for 2, or a much larger group of 8-10. Boards don’t need to be any specific shape either. I find a board roughly 8x11inches works nicely for 2-4 people.

The larger size board shown here will easily feed 8+ people.
Easter Charcuterie Board Treats
I can’t stress this enough, CHOOSE your favorite candies and chocolate. Here are some ideas you might consider
- Jelly Beans
- Robins Eggs
- Peeps
- Cadbury Eggs in all sizes
- Holiday Candy Bars
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs
- Fruit ~ Strawberries, Oranges, Blackberries, Blueberries, Kumquats, etc
- Cheese
- Muffins
- Small cookies
- Small Toys
- Larger Focal piece – Chocolate Bunny, Deviled Eggs,
Types of Boards used in a Charcuterie Board
Traditionally a cutting board is ideal. I also like to use trays of all sizes and shapes from circular to rectangle. Long and skinny, big and fat sizes. And for a fun tip, you can even use a baking sheet too.

I find that sometimes having even a low side on the tray is helpful to keep all those fun treats in place.
How to build an Easter Dessert Board
I like to visually look at all the different items I have to place choosing one for a focal point in the center. I used a Lindt Chocolate Bunny on Green Easter Grass.
Then take a look at the sizes, shapes, and colors of the ingredients chosen. Using small bowls or plates add groupings of ingredients in 2’s or 3’s around the board filling in gaps as you go.

Don’t forget to tuck some of your favorite Easter Candy bars, or Holiday M&M’s. I love adding a few treats that are wrapped. It’s a fun way to add some of your favorite treats that are easy to grab and enjoy.
Besides the visual appeal, By making multiple small groupings of ingredients around the board it ensures that there is always something you want close at hand.

Think of the age group of individuals you are serving. Are they young children? Maybe include some PEZ Chicks or Bunny for those little hands to grab and enjoy. Teenagers might enjoy the novelty candy and a variety of it. Adults on the other hand will likely enjoy some chocolate and fresh fruit or muffins.
When you make a holiday dessert board specific to your guests you can really personalize the experience. Everyone will LOVE it.
Tips and Tricks:
Remember, keep things in small bites. It’s more fun to pop a mini cookie or two in your mouth VS a large cookie. As well as make note of the presentation. Slicing strawberries through the middle and leaving the green tops add color contrast and a fun appeal.

Fruit – Melissa’s Produce
In this display, I’m using fruit from Mellissa’s Produce. It’s beautiful and I was thrilled to receive a large box of some delicious seasonal fruit.
Kumquat’s are small and bite size and can be eaten with or without the peel. Blood Oranges have a deep rich red flesh and the taste is fantastic.
My favorite fruits to add:
- Strawberries
- Blackberries or Blueberries
- Oranges
- Pineapple
Make sure to check out Melissa’s Produce for their fantastic Boxes of fruit and vegetables. Or join their Fruit of month Club where a fresh box of fruit is shipped and delivered monthly.
Don’t stop with this Easter Charcuterie Board, I’ve also made a more traditional Dessert Board that is so fun! And I also love the simplicity of a Breakfast Charcuterie Board too.
