I don’t know about you, but the Fourth of July is always a party at my house. My favorite thing is spending time with family and friends and celebrating this beautiful country that I get to live in. I also love all things red, white, and blue. But then again, who doesn’t?
Charcuterie boards seem to be getting more popular these days. Like I said, they’re such a great party starter. The best thing about them is that you can do anything you want! It doesn’t always have to be traditional meat and cheese. This charcuterie board is the perfect thing for you to add to your 4th of July festivities!
4th of July Charcuterie Board
Doesn’t this make you so excited for the 4th of July?!
Charcuterie boards are SO easy to put together, but first, Let’s think about what snack foods you want to add. For this event we have the theme picked out: red, white, and blue. To make it easier for you, I have given a list of everything that I included in mine.
Supply List:
- Charcuterie board (really anything will work)
- Strawberries
- Blackberries
- Blueberries
- Red grapes
- Powdered donuts
- Red licorice
- White chocolate covered pretzels
- Red and Blue Lindt chocolates
- Red and Blue Skittles
- Red and Blue M&M’s
- 4th of July themed chocolate kisses
- Vanilla flavored tootsie rolls
- 4th of July themed cookies
- Muddy buddies (I have linked the recipe below)
- Fruit dip (I have included the recipe below)
Let’s Put it Together:
To start: Find your base. You can use really anything. You can use a cutting board, a large platter, or a charcuterie board. The base I used is circular and I thought it was perfect. I like to start by placing 3 small bowls or containers on my base. This will help you to know where to start. I filled the bowls with skittles, muddy buddies, and fruit dip.
Then you fill the rest of the charcuterie board with the other snacks. I didn’t have a rhyme or reason when I put this together. Just randomly start placing everything. Don’t overthink it!
Muddy Buddies: I used my favorite recipe: birthday cake. Trust me. It’s SO yummy! I added red and blue M&M’s to make it more festive. You can find the recipe here: Birthday Cake Muddy Buddy Recipe.
Fruit Dip: This is so easy to make and it’s SO good. You definitely won’t regret making it if you will be serving any fruit. I just mix 13oz of marshmallow creme with 8oz of cream cheese. Trust me, you can’t go wrong with it!
How cute is this charcuterie Board?! The secret to this is just to do it! It can feel overwhelming not knowing where to put everything. But once you start you’ll get the flow. You can do it! Your family and friends will thank you!
Have fun putting together your 4th of July charcuterie board!
