Bars, Cookies, and Sweet Baked Things
- 6 chocolate chip cookies
- 6 large chocolate dipped almond biscotti
- 8 pizzelles or stroopwafel cookies
- 4 madeleines
Fresh Fruit
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 blood oranges, sliced into wedges
- 1 hidden rose apple or other pink/red flesh apple
- ½ pomegranate broken into 1-inch pieces
Dried Fruit and Nuts
- ½ cup dried cherries or cranberries
- ½ cup dried apriots
- 1 cup dried prunes
- 8 dried persimmon slices
- 8 candied dried citrus slices
- ½ cup roasted almonds
- ½ cup toasted walnuts
Garnishes (optional)
- honey for yogurt
- mint and rosemary
- edible flowers
Place yogurt and chocolate dip in small serving bowls and place on board.
Arrange bars, cookies, and other sweet baked things on board around bowls, then candy and chocolate
Add dried fruit and nuts, preferable closest to bars and cookies to create a "barrier" between baked ingredients and fresh fruit, which may drip or "leak" onto the baked goods and make the soggy.
Add fresh fruit last, making sure to keep "juicy" fruits like fresh citrus away from baked goods.
Garnish with honey or honeycomb, fresh herbs, and edible flowers.
