Instructions
- Before beginning your board, look at the layout of it. How much space do you have to present the items?

Notes
To keep the crackers from getting soggy due to the fruit build bridges. Using baby bel cheese to separate works in their casing or outside of it. Chocolate covered pretzels are another barrier to block moisture and the pretzels won’t get soggy due to the chocolate coating. You can use almost anything to create a charcuterie board: rectangle trays, a lazy Susan with or without the dishes that came with it. A large plastic tray. A large cutting board. Whatever you use just make sure it’s sturdy to handle the weight of the board.
