Holiday Sweet Smorgasbord
/
We get plenty of sweet treats as gifts during the holiday season. This year, we used these goodies to create a sweet smorgasbord grazing platter that has a little something for everyone!
Steps in creating your own Holiday Sweet Smorgasbord
Collect Platters: Festive holiday platters and trays are a must! If you don’t have one around, use a simple white plate. But something holiday-ish is ideal as a starting point.
Gather Supplies: I pool together all the pre-made desserts and candies I can find. You can use anything in the pantry you have from past parties. To make sure you have a well-rounded selection, your additional shopping list could include holiday cookies, chocolate-covered pretzels/nuts/candies, and fresh fruits.
Build Your Masterpiece: Layer the items together on the tray. The fuller the tray is, the better it looks. Color is important too - make sure to mix in some vibrant fresh fruits if you have them available. Don’t stack all the chocolate together; it will look like a big brown mess.
Garnish: It’s all in the details! I use any holiday decor I can find to add the finishing touches to my smorgasbord.
It’s meant to be easy - so don’t overthink it and enjoy!
