Lay the Foundations
Grab a large wooden board or platter and a collection of small bowls. You can keep it in a colour theme or mix and match for a more rustic look.
Start Big
Start with the bigger items. Add some sweet biscuits with loads of colours and place them in piles around the board.
Add Chocolates
Break up Chocolate bars into pieces and pile on the board or chop up larger items like the chocolate coated honeycomb to bring colour and texture.
Pile it up
Add grapes - keep in the bunch or snip into smaller pieces for easy eating.
Place heaps of Honey Coated popcorn across the board. This sweet crunchy addition to the dessert board is a favourite.
Use small bowls for small, panned chocolates like the fruit and nut or for toffee, nougat or peanut brittle or add in piles around the board.
Fill the gaps
Fill the gaps with a selection of nuts like cashews or macadamias and berries including strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries when in season.
Finish it off with colour and a selection of garnishes
