Instructions

  • Place 3 brie wheels in center of platter. Trim fruit snacks to desired shapes and place on brie wheels to create faces. Use 2 black or dark purple fruit snacks per wheel for eyes and 2 red fruit snacks per wheel for lips.
  • Arrange chunks of aged parmesan, folded pepperoni, and blackberries at top of each brie wheel to create each sister's hair.
  • Arrange sliced strawberries, green grapes, and peeled orange slices below each brie wheel to create each sister's dress.
  • Fill in remaining space on platter using components of choice, rearranging components as needed to achieve desired look.

Notes

  • Cauldron: I filled the mini cauldron with nutella and gummy worms, then topped the nutella with crumbled oreos to resemble dirt.
  • Apothecary Bottle: I filled the apothecary bottle on my board with hot honey.
  • Components: The "ingredients" listed here are all just suggestions – feel free to make any substitutions or adjustments you like! You also don’t have to include this many components. If you have a large board, you can double up ingredients as needed to fill out the space.
  • Cheeses: Cut the cheeses into slices, cubes, and wedges while they’re cold for ease, but serve them at room temperature for the best tastes and textures.
  • Dietary Variations: Substitute any ingredients you need to in order to meet your and your guests' taste preferences and dietary needs. Use plant-based cheeses to keep the board dairy free, or take inspiration from our keto charcuterie board and Whole30 grazing board to ensure your spread is compliant.
