Charcuterie boards aren’t just for appetizers or fancy events. A well-planned snack spread will be a sure winner at any casual get-together – and this adorable movie-night snack board is the perfect inspiration. We love this recipe because it provides a perfect blend of salty and sweet bites; crunchy and chewy textures; fresh foods and indulgent treats. This board includes something for everyone, and we think it’s a great concept not just for movie nights, but for any gathering that calls for an assortment of casual snacks!

Of course, the classic meat and cheese charcuterie board should not be overlooked. These spreads are popular for a reason, they taste great and make an ideal appetizer. Plus, they can be incredibly beautiful and interesting to look at. A typical charcuterie board will feature a combination of cheeses, fruits, nuts, deli meats, crackers, and likely a few jams or spreads as an accompaniment. This beginner-friendly guide will take you through the basics, and teach you all the steps to build your own fantastic charcuterie spreads. From there, you can experiment with adding new and different ingredients based on you and your guests’ preferences.

Maybe one of the best spins we’ve seen on charcuterie boards is the oh-so-sweet dessert board. Cookies or cake, ice cream or hot chocolate – whatever your dessert of choice may be, we guarantee there’s a board for it. When hosting a dinner party, dessert can often feel like an afterthought, and not everyone agrees on their dessert of choice. Throwing together a low-effort, high-variety sweets board ensures there’s a little bite to satisfy each guest’s sweet tooth, and it’s relatively low-effort on your part! Plus, they’re just so darn pretty. Dessert spreads like this ice-cream sundae board or this DIY s’mores board allow your guests to have a fun time building their own dessert just the way they like it!
