I wanted to share a few items that might help make holiday entertaining (or football parties) a little easier, or add more variety to our trays. All of these Charcuterie Board additions can be found at Dollar Tree or Walmart...
Look at that gorgeous color! And I'm using my Dollar Tree Eagles plate too:@) The silver appy forks and spoons are in the wedding section. 3oz bags of Mini Thin Pretzels in assorted flavors are the perfect bite size. Charcuterie trays can be large and elaborate for a crowd, or nibbles for two. As a point of reference, the bottom of my plate is only about 4.5x8".
These olive tapenades are DT also and I ~love~ the square jars! They are small enough to add directly to the serving board or platter. The jars are so cute, I actually took the time to remove the label and wash the jar before I opened it. They had both green olives with red peppers, and a green and black olive combination. Place a small appetizer spoon or fork in the jar for serving so folks can add a dollop to their cheese and crackers.
How about some sliced dates as a slightly sweet addition to cheese and meats. Or do you have a holiday fruitcake or fruitcake cookies (really good) in your future? Yep, Dollar Tree has 3oz packages of whole dates-perfect. And they do still have the dried Ocean Spray Cranberries too.
The dates:
Walmart had a whole end display of these candies and confections. There are several coconut variations and peanut varieties. The vibrant red, white and green combination stopped me in my tracks... Each one is about the size of a super chunky candy bar. This is a rich candy, I like each color cut into four pieces adding 12 colorful holiday cubes to your party tray:@)
The candy:
All easy, inexpensive additions to make our charcuterie trays pop this entertaining season!
