Dipping is the best part of any charcuterie board! Start by filling the board with delicious dips to add even more decadence to the board.

What Fruits Do I Use for a Chocolate Charcuterie Board?

The fruit may be my favorite part of this charcuterie board! I love adding color, texture, and taste so that I can bring in a little something for everyone! It also adds some fruity options for guests that don’t love chocolate. I chose berries for this board because it complements chocolate perfectly. But any kind of fruit can be added to your board. Fruit and chocolate are a match made in heaven!

Add Some Delicious Cookies

Cookies add delicious texture and variety to your charcuterie board. There are so many fun cookie flavors that are covered or drizzled in chocolate. I chose caramel, hazelnut, and dark chocolate sea salt cookies, but you can choose any variety of cookies you want. Choose cookie flavors for every palate because your guests will love all of the variety! Here are the cookies I included on my board.

Pirouline Chocolate Hazelnut Wafers

Chocolate Covered Nuts and Pretzels

Fill in all the spaces on the charcuterie board with smaller ingredients like pretzels and almonds. I love using any kind of chocolate-covered nuts for this board. Chocolate-covered dried fruit like raisins and blueberries would also be delicious. Have fun scattering all these goodies around the board because everyone is going to want a taste of everything! Anything that goes with chocolate works for this board.

Once you make this beautiful board, it will be hard not to pick at it before your guests arrive because it will be so tempting! I can’t wait for you to make this board.

Charcuterie Board Tips

This chocolate charcuterie board is the best dessert all year-round. I love making this board for the holidays because I always have a party to go to. When I show up with this charcuterie board I am the most popular person in the room! Here are a few ideas on how to make this board your own!

Use a Variety of Chocolate: Make sure you use different types of chocolate. Not everyone likes dark, so make sure you have milk and white options. Choose high-quality chocolate for chocolate connoisseurs.
Add Different Fruit: If you have bowls of dipping sauce, add all kinds of fruit! Any fruit dipped in chocolate is delicious. Add sliced bananas or apples for dipping.
Make it Kid-Friendly: For a charcuterie board that your kids will love, so add some kid-friendly treats. Chocolate-drizzled Rice Krispy treats would be a favorite for the kiddos!

Storing the Leftovers

I like to keep the packaging from the ingredients so it makes restoring them easy and convenient. It’s easy to place leftovers back in the original packaging or simply store the ingredients in zip-lock bags and then keep them in a dry cool place. It makes snacking the next day easy when you have a sweet tooth! Be sure to store leftover fruit in the refrigerator in a sealed container.

No Wood Board? No Problem!

You don’t have to have an expensive wood charcuterie board to achieve this chocolate charcuterie board. The display of sweets will speak for itself, so it doesn’t matter what is under it all. Be creative and use whatever you have on hand! Here is a list of ideas for you to create the best board.

Baking Sheet: Rectangle shapes work too! Just grab a cookie baking sheet then start arranging your chocolate.
Pizza Pan: The round shape does the job! A pizza pan is perfect.
Large Platter: You most likely have a large platter in your cupboard. A large platter for serving your turkey perhaps?
Large Cutting Board: A large cutting board works too! With any luck, it’s already wood.
Butcher Paper: Slap some brown butcher paper on your kitchen counter. Then make it look beautiful with your dessert board.
