How To Create A Candy Board

It’s actually pretty easy to create a beautiful candy board. If you’ve seen my cheese boards, you’ll notice some similarities in the way I lay out the design with these steps:

• Start by picking a color palette (pink, white, red & chocolate brown are perfect for VDAY)

• Place a few smaller candies in bowls or ramekins around the board. In this case, heart-shaped bowls were perfectly fitting.

• Arrange candies in fun and uniform patterns along the edge of the board or in a triangular pattern (points toward the center).

• Fan cookies and large candies around the bowls

• Fill in any holes with smaller candies
