What Do You Put On A Sweet Charcuterie Board?

For our sweet charcuterie board, we decided to keep it simple by combining classic charcuterie flavors (i.e. cheese) with a few unique dessert ideas:

• Baked brie with honey – a sweet and savory centerpiece that brings the whole board together
• Pita crackers – for indulging in the baked brie
• Mascarpone – the perfect sweet cheese for a dessert charcuterie board
• Mini chocolate chips – a fun addition to the mascarpone, inspired by chocolate chip cannolis
• Brioche cubes – for pairing with a schmear of mascarpone and a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips (mmm, the perfect bite)
• Glazed pecans – candied nuts add sweet and salty flavor, and a crunchy texture, for some variety on this charcuterie board
• Mini peanut butter cups – always a crowd-pleaser, this sweet treat pairs surprisingly well with the glazed pecans for a delicious mashup of flavors and textures
• Apple slices – to add a bright and fresh seasonal element to this dessert board
• Caramel dipping sauce – the perfect sweet dip for the apple slices

Here are some other fun dessert ideas that you can include on your sweet charcuterie board:

• Strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries
• Other seasonal fruit for the fall, like grapes or pears
• Melted chocolate for dipping
• Graham crackers
• Ricotta cheese
