I host more dinner parties than your average bear.  Which would lead one to think I’ve got menu-planning down pat.  And, I do.  Until it comes to dessert.  Appetizer, check.  Delicious dinner, no problem.  Drinks, of course.  But dessert?  I’m often found digging around in my pantry after clearing the dinner plates wondering what I can serve that makes me look like I put some thought into it.

Enter this ‘Fancy’ Almonds & Fruit Snack Board.  Jonnie and I love snacking on Blue Diamond Almonds & Fruit.  With classic flavor combos like Sea Salt & Whole Blueberry and Fiery Ghost Pepper and Tart Cherry (which is divinely spicy), we make sure to keep a few bags in our pantry at all times.  And beyond adding a touch of elegance to our daily snacking routine, I’ve found they come in darn handy when it comes to last-minute desserts and snacks for guests.

How to Build Your ‘Fancy’ Almonds & Fruit Snack Board

Start with the right size board.  I like one with a little bit of extra space, which makes slicing cheese a bit easier.  I also like to use a little bit of greenery to add a pop of color.  When building the board, I like to start with the biggest and heaviest ingredients first, like cheese and dried fruits, since they take up the most room.

Next, begin to fill in the spaces with Almonds & Fruit.  I chose to use the Fiery Ghost Pepper & Tart Cherry as well as the Sea Salt & Whole Blueberry to suit a variety of palates.

Finally, add the finishing touches.  I chose to go with some dark chocolate, a passionfruit jelly, and fresh strawberries.
