Making a Charcuterie Board is easy and so much fun. Use a large wooden cutting board and place fun items to dip into fluff. I like making smaller groups of ingredients like cookies and apples and nuts in a group on the board for variety and the best visual appeal.

When it comes to parties and holidays, it can be hard finding time to make food especially with all the craziness that comes with these kinds of events. Go ahead and make the dessert ahead of time and let it chill in the fridge until you need it. Try to only make 1 day ahead, so it can keep the freshness.

Jo
This pumpkin dessert will not disappoint! So easy to make and ready to eat immediately or can be made early and refrigerated. I served this with ginger snap cookies and graham crackers for dipping. Vanilla wafers or other cookies of choice would be good too. ( Or, you could even eat this as a dessert all by itself. It's so good.)

Thanks for the raving review Jo! I sure appreciate it
