Holiday Marshmallow Dessert Board
Not sure how to best display your marshmallow goodies this Christmas? We’ve got you covered. A holiday marshmallow dessert board is a great addition to a holiday brunch or family gathering, and is so easy to make you’ll want to create it again for every holiday! Simply take a large serving platter or charcuterie board, pick a few “inspirational colors” and fill with sweets and treats. Below find some tips to making a sparkly dessert masterpiece, and a list of how we composed our Holiday Marshmallow Dessert Board.
Our Top Dessert Board Tips:
- Think about when you’ll be serving your dessert board – first thing in the morning? Consider adding fresh fruit to go with a mimosa. Later in the day? Maybe opt for a bit of sparkle to make your board really stand out.
- Limit your color palette. Trust us. When you’re actually shopping for items to include on your board, sticking to 2-3 color options will help you make decisions. Plus, it will keep your board looking chic and cohesive. For this board, we stuck to lighter blues and pinks, with white as a neutral base.
- Don’t be afraid to mix and match! Pairing different textures and flavors keeps your board visually interesting and fun to eat. I like to think of the main groups as: crunchy, soft, sweet, and sour. A mix of cookies, marshmallows, chocolate, and sour candies ought to do it!
