Charcuterie Board for Game Night

I used what I had with a few additions. This was my first attempt at a board for a party. It felt like an art project. When I got to the game night, I thought, "Aunt Pete" here is the art 🎨 project I made for you. Do you like it? Note: Aunt Pete doesn't like cheese so that inspired me to add something sweet more to her taste. Shout out to Brandon for loaning me the board! It was perfect.

Step 1

1. Melt chocolate and dip strawberries and pretzels. Sit on parchment paper. Do this ahead of time to make for easy board assembly

Step 2

2. Build board/ Bonne Maman Apricot preserves first

Step 3

3. Add bowls with hummus and olives. I used Hummus and Greek olives from Middle Eastern Market on Bancroft avenue in Toledo

Step 4

4. Add salami ribbons & cheeses: Feta & white cheddar I used Bulgarian sheep Feta and a white Cheddar. Feta is kind of messy so I put it on a little plate. I cut a block of white cheddar. Not to small, not to big. Just right for eating. Don't need to be uniform size.

Step 5

Add fruit. Black grapes and strawberries. Think about blueberries as filler. Sprinkle them around. I actually added the blueberries when I got to the party.

Step 6

Then I added the chocolate covered strawberries and pretzels. Note they have their own section on the bottom. So as not to overpower the other flavors on the board.

Step 7

Then I added the pretzel crisps, these were a sale item at Costco. But wow, perfect for a game night. I took the whole bag and I am glad I did.

Step 8

I tucked the Turkish Delight from the Middle Eastern Market in between the cheeses.

Step 9

I sprinkled walnuts where I wanted to.

Step 10

Add your herbs wherever you think they look good. See the rosemary sprigs to the side

Step 11

Remember I sprinkled the blueberries after the board was in its place at the party.
