Ingredients:

  • 1 lb strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup green grapes
  • 2 cups pineapple chunks, fresh
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 12 oz assorted chocolate-covered pretzels
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 12 buttery shortbread cookies
  • 12 dark chocolate squares (70% cocoa)
  • 1 cup chocolate ganache
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup roasted salted almonds
  • 1 cup wafer cookies

Instructions:

  1. Place ramekins containing the chocolate ganache, honey, and mascarpone on the board in a triangular pattern to act as anchors and physical barriers.
  2. Arrange the larger fruit clusters, specifically the grapes and pineapple chunks, around the ramekins.
  3. Position the shortbread cookies and wafer cookies in curved rivers flowing between the bowls, ensuring they are kept away from high-moisture fruits.
  4. Tuck the strawberries and blueberries into the remaining empty spaces on the board.
  5. Scatter the dark chocolate squares, chocolate-covered pretzels, and roasted salted almonds into the small crevices to eliminate visible board space.
