Ingredients

  • Tim Tam Balls optional
  • Lotus (Biscoff) biscuits
  • triple chocolate chip cookies
  • peanut butter cups
  • Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolates
  • seasonal fruit strawberries, cherries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes
  • dried fruit dates, apricots
  • mini choc chip cookies
  • dark chocolate coated pretzels
  • chocolate coated dried cranberries
  • chocolate coated honeycomb
  • maltesers
  • caramel fudge
  • cookie butter
  • chocolate wafer sticks
  • M & Ms
  • jelly beans

Instructions

  • Decide which things on your platter will need bowls, then place the empty bowls on the board. This is what I call a "put and look", then we will basically fill the board around them.
  • Then place larger items that will pretty much stay where you put them without spreading out too much. Things like bunches of grapes, fresh strawberries, and medium-sized cookies - and move around the bowls if they need it.
  • Then I start filling up the bowls. I do that now rather than at the end because I like to keep variations in colour throughout the board, so I like to work with the colour of these elements where they are going to stay.
  • Start filling in the gaps with things of contrasting colours until it's full!
