- Easter-themed cookies
- Pastel candies

Instructions
- Choose a large serving board, platter, or tray with enough space for the Easter treats.
- Place small bowls or ramekins on the board first for jelly beans, small candies, or dessert dip.
- Position the largest items, such as chocolate bunnies and large Easter cookies, around the board to create focal points.
- Arrange small clusters of chocolate eggs, marshmallow treats, cookies, and pretzels around the larger items.
- Keep similar candies together in small groups to create an organized but abundant appearance.
- Add the thoroughly dried strawberries and small clusters of grapes.
- Fill remaining spaces with mini chocolate eggs, jelly beans, pastel candies, popcorn, and other small treats.
- Check the overall arrangement and redistribute treats as necessary to balance colors, shapes, and textures.
- Add delicate or perishable treats shortly before serving so they remain fresh.
- Serve the Easter candy board at room temperature and replenish popular treats as needed.
Notes
- For a chocolate-focused board, combine milk, dark, and white chocolate eggs, bunnies, truffles, chocolate-covered pretzels, and brownie bites.
- For a coordinated pastel board, focus on pink, yellow, lavender, blue, and white treats.
- For a sweet-and-salty variation, add pretzels, popcorn, salted nuts, and chocolate-covered crackers.
- Individual Easter boards can be assembled on small plates or in shallow boxes for place settings or party favors.
- When serving young children, choose age-appropriate treats and consider choking hazards.
- Shelf-stable candies can be arranged several hours ahead and covered. Add fresh fruit, refrigerated dips, and delicate treats closer to serving.
- Store leftover shelf-stable treats according to their package directions. Refrigerate fresh fruit and perishable dips separately.
- Keep leftover fruit separate from cookies and candy to prevent moisture from softening crisp ingredients.
