How to Make a Taco Board: A Few Easy Tips
I have made a few boards over the years and have learned some easy tips that I always follow to create not only a delicious board but also one that will wow your guests! Always start the board by placing the largest items first, including small bowls. After, add in chips, crackers, or breads around the larger items. Next, add in meats and cheeses, making sure to scatter around the board to very the texture and colors. Then, fill in veggies and fruits creating small sections around the boards. Keep in mind you can have more than one section of the same item. Finally, fill in all the empty gaps with smaller items such as candy and a variety of nuts.
Watch this fun video to see how I put it all together!

Hi!! I love this idea and will be replicating for an upcoming bachelorette party. Can you tell me how you did the cactus’ on the board? I see you ordered the ice cube molds but did you melt chocolate into them? Thank you
