Create some instant WOW at your Candy Themed Birthday Party with a candy charcuterie board centerpiece! Not only will it be a delight for the eyes, it's so delicious too. Your guests will be completely in love with all of the sweets. I am a big fan of charcuterie boards because they always contain a wide selection of items so everyone at the party will find something that they love. The best part is that a candy board is very easy to assemble. Here's how to get started.

Project Time
20 to 30 min

Step
1

Start by placing the bottom portion of 5 Clear Round Favor Containers in a line across the center of your Gold Round Plastic Serving Plate. Fill each round container with a different color of Sixlet® Chocolate Candy. From left to right, I used Sparkling Mint Green Chocolate Candy, Sparkling Bright Pink Chocolate Candy, Red Chocolate Candy, Shimmer Yellow Chocolate Candy, and Sparkling White Chocolate Candy.

Next, starting from the right, place Yogurt-Covered Pretzels above and below the container of Sparkling White Chocolate Candy. Isolate the white Buttermints from the assorted colors and sprinkle them in and around the pretzels.

Add a handful of Yellow Salt Water Taffy Candy on the outer rim of the serving plate directly above and below the container of Shimmer Yellow Chocolate Candy. This will support the candy we add in the next step.

Next, place 3 Yellow Rock Candy Lollipops at the top of the plate directly on top of the salt water taffy. Repeat this step at the bottom of the plate as well. Then, place 4 Yellow Mini Twisty Lollipops on top of both sets of rock candy.

To hold the lollipop sticks in place, pile yellow Gourmet Mighty Mango Gummy Teddy Bears on the right of the lollipops. Add Peach Gummi Ring Candy on the left of the lollipops.

Next, place 3 Pink Rock Candy Lollipops and 3 Pink Mini Twisty Lollipops at the top of the plate directly on top of the pink Buttermints you just placed in Step 9. Repeat this step at the bottom of the plate as well. Then, add a few pieces of Pink Salt Water Taffy Candy on top of the lollipop sticks to hold them in place. Finish by sprinkling Light Pink Mini Candy Sticks in and around the lollipops and other pink candies.

Now it's time to add some green to our candy board! Isolate the green Buttermints from the assortment and place a handful above and below the container of Sparkling Mint Green Chocolate Candy. Then, poke the sticks of 4 Light Green Swirl Lollipops into the mounds of mints which will hold them in place.
