3 oz Cured or smoked meats see post for suggestions
3 oz Cheese see post for suggestions
Crackers see post for suggestions
Produce Sauces, Snack Items, and Garnishes as desired - see post for suggestions.

Place your focal point items - wheels or chunks of cheese, sauce ramekins, dip bowls, etc - on the charcuterie tray.
In this case, it was a green pepper with the top cut off, and seeds spooned out. This would later become a dip bowl, for the Guinness Cheese Dip.
Place your other meats roughly where you’d like them to go, then place your cheeses.

Arrange sections of your starches - crackers, cookies, bread. In this case, I used rye crisp bread, a dark pumpernickel bread, and pretzel thins.
Fill in your sections of the more “snacky” produce. In this case, that's cucumber slices, broccoli florets, and green grapes.
Place sections of your “Munchies” items, filling in any larger empty spaces. This is the white chocolate pretzels, foil covered chocolate coins, and dried apricots on the charcuterie board as pictured.

Arrange your meat and cheese slices more artfully, if desired.
Fill in any sparsely covered areas with more meat, cheese, produce, etc.
Add dips to the bowls, if applicable, then garnish as desired. I used rainbow belt candies to bring a pop of colour to the board.
Serve and enjoy!
