Add the large items {meats & cheeses} to the board. Then place the crackers around the board.
Next, arrange fruits and vegetables around the meat and cheese. Add bowls of dip, olives and pickles {or whatever you prefer}.
Fill in any empty areas with candy and cookies. Finally, go back and fill in any areas and add fresh herbs and edible flowers. Serve or cover for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

Get creative with what you use for the base. A wooden board is traditional but there are so many items you can use. Lay brown paper on the counter, use a baking sheet or wood crate for other options.
Have a combination of fresh and shelf stable items. During the fall months, fresh items are a must but require that you only purchase them a day or two in advance. Foods like crackers and nuts can be bought ahead of time and will last long after.
Use small bowls to contain items you don’t want rolling around the board. Using bowls for smaller items like olives, pickles and fruit can keep everything in place and help with pulling it all together. You could also hollow out a pumpkin or apple to use as the bowl for a super festive touch.
Go back and add in smaller foods like nuts and candies to fill in any empty spaces. To get a lush and gorgeous fall-themed charcuterie board it should be bountiful and every inch should be covered.
Always add serving utensils to make grabbing items easier. Small spoons, cheese knives and tongs are all great additions.
