Graduation Candy Board
We’re all about dessert, candy, and charcuterie boards around here. They’re so fun to make, pretty, and can be customized with anything you like. We went with a black and gold theme for graduation, but you can get candy in any color of your choice.
You can even kick your graduation party board up a notch amd add in other sweet treats like cupcakes, cookies, chocolate-covered strawberries, and more. The possibilities are endless and you can customize to your family’s likes.
How do I store my Graduation candy board?
Store in air-tight containers in a cool area. If the graduation party is going to be outdoors try to keep the board out of the sun.
Can I make substitutions?
You may substitute any of your favorite candies on this board! Feel free to personalize by using your school’s colors and coordinating them with the candy choices. My favorite place to get color themed candy is Amazon and my local party store like Party City.
While our graduation candy board is filled with chocolate you can add in other candies like sour ropes, licorice, gumballs, rock candy, lollipops, cotton candy, and more.
What Wooden Board to Use
When it comes to a charcuterie board you can use any shape or size you like. Some boards can get pricy, but if you get a nice quality board it will last a long time and will be well worth its investment.
We make charcuterie boards all of the time and have various shapes and sizes depending on what I am putting together, but for parties, I like to have a large charcuterie board like this one.
You can find wooden boards at lots of places, but my favorite places to shop for charcuterie or dessert boards are Home Goods/TJ Max, Target, Amazon, and Walmart.
