This colorful festive Trader Joes Easter Charcuterie Board is made with Unexpected Cheddar, spring candies, and fresh berries and ready in 15 minutes. The bright chocolate eggs nestle perfectly among the savory cheeses and cured meats. I love how easy it is to assemble for holiday gatherings.
The Secret To Getting It Right
I used to overthink grazing boards and spend way too much time arranging them. Now I focus on creating natural clusters of colors and textures instead.
Leaving space for those pastel candy coated chocolate eggs completely changed my approach. The mix of savory meats with sweet treats keeps everyone coming back for more.

- 1 package Prosciutto
- 1 package Salami

How To Make Trader Joes Easter Charcuterie Board
- Place The Cheeses: Slice the cheddar and leave the brie whole, spacing them evenly on a large wooden board.
- Add The Meats: Fold the prosciutto into ribbons and fan out the salami slices around the cheeses.
- Position The Fruit: Wash and dry the strawberries and grapes, then arrange them in empty corners to add bright pops of color.
- Arrange The Crackers: Fan the pita crackers and fig crisps in curved lines along the edges of the board.
- Fill With Sweets: Scatter the chocolate peanuts and spring gummies into all remaining gaps until the board looks full.
Recipe Tips
- Room temperature cheese: Take the cheeses out 30 minutes before serving so they soften and taste their best.
- Keep wet and dry separate: Place damp fruit away from the crackers so nothing gets soggy.
- Build in odd numbers: Grouping ingredients in threes or fives makes the board visually appealing.
What To Serve With Easter Charcuterie
Serve this board alongside a light spring mix salad and some sparkling wine or lemonade. It pairs wonderfully with sliced baguette or a warm spinach dip.
How To Store
Remove all crackers and candies before wrapping the board tightly with plastic wrap. Store the remaining cheese, meat, and fruit in the fridge for up to 3 days.
FAQs
Can I make this board ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the meats, cheeses, and fruit up to 4 hours in advance and keep it in the fridge.
What if I cannot find the specific spring candies?
Any pastel candies or chocolate eggs work beautifully as a replacement.
What size board do I need?
A standard 12×18 inch wooden board easily holds these ingredients for a small crowd.
