Tips and Variations:
- Feel free to completely customize your board! Add anything you like or that fits your theme, take away anything that’s not for you.
- This is just a jumping off point, you can absolutely use this for multiple holidays or events. Simply switch up your color scheme of candies and serving ware.
- When it comes to the snack mix, make sure to work quickly since the chocolate sets fairly fast.
- If you want to do a slightly healthier version, swap out the sweets for colorful fruits like strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, and blueberries, and a white a fruit dip (something with a yogurt base). You can even cut the watermelon into stars for that star spangled finishing touch.
