Christmas Dessert Board

Christmas Dessert Board: use store bought treats to create this Christmas sweet treat snack board with lots of touches of pink.

Dessert boards, sweet snack boards, and charcuterie are so popular and fun I thought it would be fun to put together a Christmas dessert board for the holidays.  All our treats for this board are store bought, so it’s really quick and easy to put together.  This year we’re celebrating a pink Christmas, so I added a few easy pink touches to the board too.  You could do them in pink or in the more traditional red for Christmas.

Christmas Dessert Board

• “H” Belgium chocolate initials
• “O” Belgium chocolate initials
• mini marshmallows
• regular marshmallows
• pink marshmallows
• candy canes
• Little Debbies Christmas tree cakes
• caramel corn
• chocolate fingers
• Strawberry Santa hats
• jam shortbread cookies
• shortbread fingers
• Santa hat Oreos
• “Chicken Bone” candies
• chocolate coins
• gingerbread men
• Twix Santas
• chocolate dipped wafers

 

To create this board start by adding a layer of different mixed marshmallows to the centre of the board and arranging the chocolate initials to say “Ho Ho Ho”. 

Next arrange the rest of the treats around the outside of the board, alternating sizes and colours.

Pink Christmas Tree Cakes

• Little Debbies Christmas tree cakes
• pink chocolate

To add a pink detail to the Little Debbie cakes, melt some chocolate in the microwave, and snip off the corner of a ziplock bag to use as a piping bag.  Pipe small dots of pink chocolate onto the cakes.

Santa Hat Oreos

• white chocolate dipped oreos
• pink chocolate
• white chocolate
• white sprinkles

To make the Santa hat Oreo cookies, just melt some pink chocolate in the microwave.  Place the melted pink chocolate in a ziplock bag and snip off the corner to make a piping bag.  Use the pink chocolate to make a triangle Santa hat on the top of the cookie.  Let the pink chocolate harden.  Next do the same with the white chocolate and use it to make a pompom top and fur trim on the bottom of the hat.  While the white chocolate is still wet and before it hardens, dip it in the white sprinkles.

Strawberry Santa Hats

• white powdered donuts
• fresh strawberries
• mini marshmallows

Trim the bottom off of a strawberry and balance it on top of a donut.  To make the pompom, trim the end off of a mini marshmallow to make it sticky and stick it to the top of the strawberry.

Chocolate Dipped Wafers

• wafer cookies
• pink chocolate
• sprinkles

 

Melt some pink chocolate in the microwave and dip the end of the wafer cookie in it.  Put it on parchment paper to set, and while the chocolate is still wet add some sprinkles.

This board is really quick and easy to put together since it’s made of store bought treats, with just a few simple additions with chocolate and sprinkles.  Sure to be the highlight of any Christmas get together.

With a Christmas dessert board like this, life really is a party!
