What Is an Easter Candy Charcuterie Board?
A candy board is a fun twist on the traditional charcuterie board. Instead of meats and cheeses, it’s packed with sweet and salty snacks that scream Easter fun. Think pastel colors, bunny-shaped treats, and textures that kids (and adults!) love. It’s a no-fuss way to bring the wow-factor to your Easter entertaining ideas—and it’s Instagram and Pinterest gold.
Easter Charcuterie Board Ingredients
Here’s everything I used for this simple yet stunning board:
Easter Candy
- Mini chocolate eggs
- Pastel-colored jelly beans
- Gummy bunnies or chicks
- Marshmallow Peeps
- Chocolate carrots or bunny pops
Sweet & Salty Snacks
- White chocolate-covered pretzels (the crunch + sweetness = perfection)

Savory Balance

Veggie Straws (the kids love these!)

How to Build Your Easter Candy Board
Add something playful—like a chocolate bunny in the center or a mini egg nest.
Start with a pretty board or tray. A round wooden board, marble slab, or even a pastel-colored platter works perfectly.
Place small bowls for items like jelly beans or mini eggs to keep things tidy.
Anchor the board with larger items like clusters of pretzels or marshmallow treats.
Fill in the gaps with smaller candies and snack items, mixing colors and textures as you go.
Styling Tips for a Picture-Perfect Board
- Use pastel tones to tie everything together.
- Create “waves” of color by grouping similar shades.
- Add festive touches like mini carrots, faux flowers, or a few sprigs of greenery.
- Don’t forget themed accessories—mini bunny picks or gingham napkins take it to the next level.
