As the holidays kick into full swing, merriment is in the air and it's the perfect time to build a festive holiday candy board! Whether hosting a holiday get together or visiting friends and family, this year, a festive (and delicious) candy board is sure to delight many a sweet tooth and add the perfect touch to any party or gathering.
Here at Hall’s, we take pride in carefully crafting fudge, brittle, and chocolates for our customers to enjoy - and the same goes for holiday-inspired candy boards! Check out our recommendations below to design the sweetest board this year!
Mix it up!
Sure, you could use your typical holiday candies for a candy board this year,, but why not go for homemade candies crafted with high-quality ingredients? Our selection of made-from-scratch fudge, brittle, and chocolates will surely impress your friends and family - and make them come back for more!
Our melt-in-your-mouth fudge comes in more than 10 different flavors. Pick up a pound of our limited-edition Mint Chocolate Fudge along with a pound or two of some other interesting flavors. (Our Chocolate Fudge is always a crowd pleaser!) Having a hard time picking? Our Assorted Fudge is always a good option as it features eight of our signature flavors!
Raise the bar this year by adding a spin on your typical bowl of nuts - choose brittle instead! Our buttery, crunchy brittle is bursting with flavor. Choose from boxes or snack bags featuring peanuts, pecans, almonds, and - our newest product - Cashew Brittle! And for indecisive gift givers and party hosts out there, our Assorted Brittle pack gives everyone something to go nutty over!
Anything dipped in chocolate just tastes better, right? That’s why our hand-dipped chocolate candies are a must for any candy board! Choose from milk- or dark-chocolate covered pretzels, cookies, marshmallows, or brittle - a fun treat that your guests might not be expecting! Can’t pick out which type you’d like? No worries! Our Milk Chocolate Covered Assortment is a long-time customer favorite.
Let’s Talk Levels!
Once you have your homemade candies picked out, start thinking about organizing your candy board. Making it pleasing to look at as well as deliciously tasting is half the fun!
Using a flat surface like a wooden cutting board or piece of slate is just the beginning when it comes to designing a beautiful candy board arrangement. Think about levels! Small bowls scattered throughout the board are a great way to add some height and mix it up. Fill them with bites of brittle or smaller little snacks.
Stacking is another great way to add some variety to your board! No matter what flavor of fudge you ultimately decided upon, it can be stacked up! Pick a few spots on your board to make a few little pyramids of fudge to show off the smooth, creamy candy.
If you want to get even more festive, you could try your hand at a unique Candy Cane or Christmas Tree candy charcuterie arrangement!
Oh, Don’t Forget!
As you can imagine, your candy board is going to be a hit! But we have a few more recommendations to help ensure your candy board is as sweet as can be.
- Tie your candy board into any decoration themes you might have if you’re hosting! Weave a bit of garland throughout your board or drop a few small bowls of cranberries throughout to add a pop of color.
- Remember that some guests may have food allergies! Knowing what is on your candy board (and where) to help guide your friends and family is always a thoughtful gesture. Maybe even pick up small little table place cards and write the types of candies on them to help guests navigate your sweet creation.
- It never hurts to have a few bits of fudge, brittle, and chocolates hanging around in the back to replenish the board once everyone has a chance to dig in! It gives everyone a chance to enjoy a treat or two - and it keeps the party extra sweet!
Happy Hall-idays!
