Epic Dessert Board for New Year’s Eve (or Any Occasion!)
This dessert board is so easy to put together and can be completed using any items you’d like! I added New Year’s Eve accents, but you can easily swap them out for any occasion.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Category: Appetizer, Dessert
Ingredients
- Pretzel rods (you can dip them in white melting chocolate and gold/silver sprinkles)
- Premade brownie bites
- Hershey Kisses
- Gold Color-It Candy
- Gold rock candy
- Oreos
- Popcorn
- Cheeses
- Ghirardelli Chocolate Caramels
- Chocolate-covered pretzels
- Chocolate-covered white snowflakes
- Chocolate stars (from Trader Joe’s)
- Marshmallows
- Brie cheese or mini cake for center clock (if you use a cake, get white frosting)
- Black icing (to make clock and tuxedo accents)
Instructions
- First, start with a serving tray. I prefer this circular wooden tray from Target because it has a bit of a rim to keep the items from spilling off the edge.
- If using a mini cake, follow instructions on box to bake. (For mini cake baking pans, you can use a small spring-form pan, silicone mold, or round cookie cutter.)
- Using black icing, add clock numbers on a circular piece of brie cheese or a mini cake and set aside so it doesn’t get smudged. I loved the look of Roman Numerals for a vintage clock look!
- Also with the black icing, add tuxedo accents to brie triangle wedges and set aside. I did a simple bowtie with three buttons below it.
- Place an upside-down bowl in the center of the board to hold the place of the clock cake/cheese.
- Fill in the board as desired with treats. Try to separate by color so they don’t blend together.
- Place cake/cheese clock in center of the board and add in brie tuxedo accents.
- Decorate with cupcake toppers, sprinkles, etc.
Notes
For a healthier option, swap out the desserts for fruits, cheese, or veggies!
