Step 1: Choose a large, clean serving board (wood, slate, or festive tray) to begin your assembly.
Step 2: Place any small bowls intended for dips or nuts onto the board first to establish anchors for your design.
Step 3: Arrange your larger baked items, such as bigger cookies, mini cupcakes, or brownie squares, distributing them evenly across the board to create a visual foundation.
Step 4: Next, nestle in your selection of chocolates and candies. Cluster items like chocolate-covered pretzels, truffles, and peppermint bark around the baked goods, letting them fill available spaces.
Step 5: Incorporate the fresh fruits, arranging berries, grapes, and citrus slices in colorful sections. Allow them to tumble and overlap slightly to create a bountiful, inviting appearance.
Step 6: Fill any remaining gaps with smaller delights such as macarons, meringues, and marshmallows, ensuring a lush and abundant look.
Step 7: Fill your small bowls with chocolate hazelnut spread and caramel dip, placing them conveniently on the board for easy access.
Step 8: Garnish your board by tucking fresh rosemary sprigs into various spots for a natural, aromatic, and festive touch. For an extra special sparkle, dust with edible glitter or festive sprinkles.
