Candy Charcuterie Boards Are a Thing, and Wow, Bless Whoever Thought of This

Charcuterie boards have become quite the trend in recent years, but did you know that candy charcuterie boards are a thing? They've been making the rounds on Instagram lately and, yep, they look so, so good. Unlike their meat and cheese counterparts, these sugary snack boards are best served for dessert (duh!) and the options for getting creative with these treats are endless.
