Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. ๐Ÿคฃ

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ˜‚

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! ๐Ÿ˜œ

As someone navigating dysautonomia and multiple chronic illnesses, staying hydrated and keeping up with my electrolytes is super important! The only problem?! Iโ€™m terrible at drinking plain water. ๐Ÿ˜…

And donโ€™t even get me started on flavored electrolyte powders. Iโ€™m just not a fan! ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™ve been loving Buoy electrolyte drops! ๐Ÿ’ง Unlike traditional electrolyte drink mixes, these unflavored hydration drops can be added to practically ANY beverage without significantly changing the taste!

So naturally, every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, I add some electrolyte drops to it too. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿฅค

Because who says you canโ€™t enjoy your favorite drinks AND get some extra electrolytes in at the same time?! ๐Ÿ˜‰

And if youโ€™re wondering about my diagnosis, one doctor told me I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), while another suspects POTS. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine! ๐Ÿคช Welcome to life with chronic illness!

Fall Dessert Charcuterie Board

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I know y’all have seen dessert charcuterie boards floating all around Pinterest, so I thought I would try to make one myself and give it a go. And I figured why not make it a fall dessert charcuterie board to be even more extra?? This would be so perfect for a Halloween party or just a fun night in with the family.

And the best part is, you can make this in just a matter of minutes and it is a completely no-bake fall dessert idea! So if you’re running short on time, this would be ideal to make.

Just buy some of your favorite fall goodies and/or candies and you’ve got yourself a beautiful, easy fall dessert charcuterie board in minutes!

Look how yummy and festive it is!

Materials Needed for Fall Dessert Charcuterie Board:

You can really use whatever you want to, but I will list of what I used here to give you some ideas and a head start!

Charcuterie Board
I love this Charcuterie board I got from The Nested Fig. I use it all the time for desserts, just like for my Fresh Apple Walnut Cake I made a few weeks ago.
  • Charcuterie Board (I got mine from The Nested Fig and you can use my code “Charity10” to get 10% off this and anything else from their amazing shop!)
  • Small Bowls
  • Candy Corn
  • Candy Pumpkins
  • Halloween Oreo’s
  • Frosted Fall Sugar Cookies
  • Hershey’s Cookies and Cream Fang Bars
  • Reese’s Pumpkins
  • Chocolate Covered Pretzels
  • Sweet and Salty Popcorn Mix

Basically, just browse around the fall/Halloween section at your local grocery store and pick up a few desserts you like best. How easy is that?!

Ingredients Needed for Dessert Charcuterie Boards
All the ingredients you need to get started!

You know I love to bake, but sometimes I want something sweet without all the effort. So this easy, no-bake fall dessert charcuterie board is right up my alley. Plus, it is extremely festive and we all know I am a little over the top when it comes to holidays!

Styling the Dessert Charcuterie Board

Now, this is the fun part! Styling the dessert charcuterie board! I didn’t really have a game plan here, you can kind of just dump everything on there and rearrange it.

Chocolate and Candy Charcuterie Boards

No need to stress out, once you place everything on the board, it kind of just flows together naturally. I started by stacking the Halloween Oreos in the back of the board. Then, I added a bowl of the sweet and salty popcorn mix.

Cookie Charcuterie Board
Halloween Oreos add the perfect festive touch!

You don’t have to add bowls, you can simply just throw everything out on the board, but I like to kind of break it up. This gives the charcuterie board more defined sections that way. But again, it would totally be up to you and how you want to style it.

Close Up of Cookies
Love me some frosted sugar cookies!

Then, I stacked the frosted sugar cookies next and added a big pile of the chocolate covered pretzels in the middle. I also had small bowls for the candy corn and candy pumpkins to place on the side.

Close Up of Pretzels
All the pretzels in the middle of the board!

Finishing up, I opened a few Reese’s Pumpkins and the Hershey’s Cookies and Cream Fang bars. If you look closely at them, you can see they have teeth on them! Very appropriate for the Halloween/Fall theme we have going on here!

Chocolate Charcuterie Boards

I didn’t like how there were some clearly visible separation lines between all the desserts though when I was done. And since I had some extra candy corn and pumpkins leftover, I decided to pour them all around those empty areas to fill it up.

Not only did it do the job, but it made it even more festive too!

Finished Dessert Charcuterie Boards

How do you think it turned out?! I think it’s super cute and I absolutely love that it is a no-bake dessert option.

And any kid would absolutely go crazy over this I think as well. It would also be a perfect way to use up any leftover Halloween candy and/or treats they may have too!

Let me know if you decide to make this too and what you used for yours! I would love to hear all about it.

    I love charcuterie boards, and yours looks so yummy and fun for Fall! Such a great idea to use store-bought dessert items and candy! This would be great for a movie night! Thanks for the inspiration!

Then, when Thanksgiving arrives, your desserts are already doneโ€”leaving you more time to enjoy your guests!

Simply bake your desserts, let them cool completely, wrap them well, and store them in the freezer. Thaw them before serving, and theyโ€™ll be ready for your Thanksgiving dessert table! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

Please tell me Iโ€™m not the only one who gets insta Please tell me Iโ€™m not the only one who gets instant sensory overload from the sound of metal scraping against metal?! ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ’€

Because WHY would you serve me a salad in a METAL bowl with a METAL fork?! ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿคฃ The sound alone is enough to send me into a full-blown sensory nightmare!

Iโ€™m not officially diagnosed with ADHD or autism (AuDHD), but Iโ€™ve been noticing more and more sensory sensitivities and little quirks about myself lately that have me seriously wondering. ๐Ÿคช

The sound of a metal fork scraping against a dinner plate is already bad enoughโ€ฆ but a metal fork scraping against a METAL BOWL?! Absolutely NOT. Straight to jail. ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿคฃ

I swear I can feel that sound in my entire body. ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

So now I need to knowโ€ฆ is this a neurodivergent sensory sensitivity thing, or does everyone hate this sound as much as I do?! PLEASE tell me Iโ€™m not alone! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‡

Listen, yโ€™all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when Listen, yโ€™all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when it comes to dessert, I do NOT play around! ๐Ÿ˜‚ 

Normally, Iโ€™m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. ๐Ÿฅฐ
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. ๐Ÿคฃ

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ˜‚

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! ๐Ÿ˜œ

Please tell me weโ€™re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! ๐Ÿคฃ
Be honestโ€ฆ are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! ๐Ÿฐ

If you want your Christmas tree to look fuller, fluffier, and more expensive, this simple Christmas decorating hack makes ALL the difference! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

Seriously, just look at the difference between a fluffed Christmas tree and one that hasnโ€™t been fluffed yet! ๐Ÿ˜ Taking the time to spread out and shape each branch helps fill in those awkward gaps and makes even an artificial Christmas tree look so much fuller BEFORE you add a single ornament!

And trust me, as someone who puts up multiple Christmas trees every year, I know how tedious this step can be. ๐Ÿคฃ Especially when youโ€™re dealing with flocked Christmas trees and end up with fake snow ALL over your house! ๐Ÿ™ƒ

But I promise, those extra few minutes of fluffing are SO worth it for that beautiful, full Christmas tree look! ๐ŸŽ„

So tell me, are you team fluff every single branch or team throw some ornaments on and call it a day?! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrat POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydratedโ€ฆ but you absolutely HATE drinking water. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ

Anyone else living with POTS, inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), or another chronic illness know the struggle?! ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

As someone navigating dysautonomia and multiple chronic illnesses, staying hydrated and keeping up with my electrolytes is super important! The only problem?! Iโ€™m terrible at drinking plain water. ๐Ÿ˜…

And donโ€™t even get me started on flavored electrolyte powders. Iโ€™m just not a fan! ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™ve been loving Buoy electrolyte drops! ๐Ÿ’ง Unlike traditional electrolyte drink mixes, these unflavored hydration drops can be added to practically ANY beverage without significantly changing the taste!

So naturally, every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, I add some electrolyte drops to it too. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿฅค

Because who says you canโ€™t enjoy your favorite drinks AND get some extra electrolytes in at the same time?! ๐Ÿ˜‰

And if youโ€™re wondering about my diagnosis, one doctor told me I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), while another suspects POTS. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine! ๐Ÿคช Welcome to life with chronic illness!

But in the meantime, Iโ€™m all about finding little chronic illness hacks that make everyday life a bit easier! โค๏ธ
