# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • This board is secretly a conversation starter—guests love picking favorites or challenging each other for the prettiest basket.
  • It brings together crunchy, creamy, sweet, and salty flavors on one colorful platter, and every bite feels a bit like celebrating.
02 -
  • If you layer wet fruit near crackers, they go soggy fast—always dry slices well and keep textures apart.
  • Arranging marshmallow chicks last prevents them from sticking or drooping where you least expect it.
03 -
  • Don’t underestimate the power of fresh herbs, both in flavor and in inviting springtime to your table.
  • Layer sweets and savory treats separately at first, then mix them gently for balanced baskets and less mess.
