Instructions
- Prepare your charcuterie board by cutting a piece of parchment paper to fit. This helps keep the board clean and from staining.
- Cut the cheese into pieces that are just larger than the star cookie cutter. Then slice the cheese into 4 slices. Use the cookie cutter to cut stars out of the cheese.
- Add the blackberries, raspberries, and gumballs to small white bowls. Arrange the bowls onto the board first.
- Add the lollipops to the board.
- Roll the salami slices into cone shapes. Stack the salami cones next to the fruit containers to help keep them rolled.
- Next, arrange the crackers and pepperoni slices on the board, and keep alternating the colors. Add in the cheese stars and yogurt-covered pretzels.
- Add the candy coins next, filling in any empty spaces. Serve!
