Ingredients

Scale

Candies and Chocolates

  • 1 cup mini chocolate eggs (150g)
  • 1 cup pastel marshmallows (50g)
  • 1 cup bunny- or chick-shaped candies (150g)
  • 1 pack Peeps marshmallows (5–10 pieces)
  • 1 cup jelly beans (150g)
  • ½ cup chocolate-dipped pretzels (75g)
  • 100g white chocolate bark with sprinkles

Bakery and Savory

  • 6–8 mini cupcakes or cookies
  • 1 cup butter crackers or bunny-shaped crackers (100g)
  • 1 cup mini pretzels (90g)

Dairy

  • 1 cup cubed cheddar and colby jack cheese (120g)

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (150g)
  • 1 cup grapes (red or green) (150g)
  • ½ cup blueberries (75g)

Other

  • 3–4 decorated hard-boiled Easter eggs
  • Small bowls for loose items (like jelly beans)
  • Easter-themed decor (figurines, plastic eggs, faux grass)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Choose a large wooden board, serving tray, or rimmed baking sheet to serve as the foundation for your Easter board. This will give you plenty of space to display all your colorful treats beautifully.
  2. Place bowls first: Start arranging small bowls on your board to hold loose candies such as jelly beans and mini chocolate eggs. These bowls act as anchors to help organize your layout.
  3. Add focal points: Distribute larger items evenly across the board by placing cupcakes, Peeps marshmallows, cheese cubes, and fresh fruit in various corners. These act as eye-catching focal points to draw attention and balance the composition.
  4. Fill in with medium items: Tuck in medium-sized treats such as crackers, pretzels, and pastel marshmallows between the larger focal points. This helps fill the gaps and create a fuller, balanced look.
  5. Finish with small touches: Use mini candies and chocolate-dipped pretzels to fill in remaining spaces on the board, adding vibrant pops of color. Finally, place decorated hard-boiled Easter eggs and Easter-themed decorative items like figurines or faux grass to enhance the festive feel.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Provide small tongs or toothpicks for easy serving. Pair the Easter board with refreshing beverages such as fresh juices or iced tea to complete the celebration experience.

Notes

  • This Easter board is a no-cook recipe, making it quick and easy to prepare for any occasion.
  • Feel free to swap or add any seasonal fruits or favorite candies to customize the board according to your taste.
  • Use a large flat surface or board with a rim to keep smaller items from rolling off during serving.
  • Keep perishable items like cheese and fruit chilled until just before serving to maintain freshness.
  • The decorated hard-boiled eggs can be omitted or replaced with vegan alternatives for dietary preferences.
  • Adding small serving utensils like tongs and toothpicks helps guests serve themselves hygienically and easily.
