How To Display Your Charcuterie Board Candies

Your candy will be presented in a rectangular wooden serving platter, so pick this as your base. If you don't have a wooden serving platter, many people use other serving trays or even kitchen cutting boards lined with paper.

Simply start arranging all of your delicious snack foods down the center of the tray in columns, with plenty of space in between each snack. This will ensure that the candy is easily visible, and will prevent overcrowding (you want a charcuterie board, not a big pile of candy on a tray!).

Once you have laid out all of your snacks down the center of your serving tray, it's time to accessorize with color! If you've got some extra room around the perimeter of your snack display trays, fill them with your favorite snack garnishes. For a change in flavor, consider garnishing with macadamia nuts, or a local Hawaiian favorite - crack seed.

And there you have it, one expert Hawaiian Candy Snack Charcuterie Board!
