What is better for snacking than a big, beautiful charcuterie board? Whether you are having a friend and family gathering, holiday party, or some sort of celebration, a charcuterie board is a great option. The best part is, there is no “right” or “wrong” way to create one, and you can theme the board to match the occasion.

What exactly is a charcuterie board? A charcuterie board typically contains some type of assortment of the following: Meats, cheeses, crackers, artisan toasted bread, fruits, veggies, olives, nuts, dips, desserts and whatever else you choose! Of course, you tailor your board to what you and your guests prefer. Additionally, with the holidays right around the corner, there are many fun desserts you can sprinkle onto your board. 

Unsure of where to begin? We have you covered. The volume of items you need depend on how many guests you are providing for. Here are a few popular items for each category:

Meats: Prosciutto, salami, pepperoni, ham, smoked salmon

Cheeses: Goat cheese, Feta cheese, Swiss cheese, blue cheese, Brie Cheese

Crackers: PICS Oil & Herb Crackers, Wheat Thins, Ritz Crackers, pretzels

Artisan Bread: Ciabatta, sourdough, French, rye

Fruits: Grapes, blueberries, raspberries, apricots, figs

Veggies: Carrots, celery, snap peas, grape tomatoes, broccoli, pickles

Olives: Castelvetrano olives, Kalamata olives

Nuts: Walnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, pecans

Dips: Hummus, cream cheese, salsa, guacamole, honey, fig spread

Desserts (for holidays or any occasion): Chocolate covered strawberries, jellybeans, mints, candy corn, Hershey kisses, mini cookies, mini candy canes, peppermint bark, M&Ms

Charcuterie boards are a fun way to let your creative mind flow, as well as giving your guests something to admire. Enjoy!

Never fear colorful stripes, prints and patterns on white garments again.  Clorox Smart Seek Bleach whitens mostly white and solid white garments.  It is specially formulated to get whites white, but leave the colors alone; therefore mostly whites and solid whites can be combined and cleaned in the same load.  Unique technology delivers just enough power to remove stains and whiten white parts of garments, yet is color safe on most striped white, patterned white and screen printed whites, when used as directed.
