# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • It requires zero cooking, which means you can throw it together while sipping coffee on party day.
  • Everyone finds something they love, whether they're a candy person, cookie person, or someone who sneaks the chocolate coins when nobody's looking.
  • It looks absolutely showstopping with minimal effort, making you seem like you planned this all week when you really assembled it in 20 minutes.
02 -
  • The second you add fresh fruit, the clock starts ticking on your board's shelf life, so add it as close to serving time as possible.
  • Green apple slices need lemon juice within two minutes or they'll oxidize and turn brown, which completely kills the aesthetic you worked for.
03 -
  • Buy your candies and treats a few days early so you're not stuck at the store on March 17th fighting crowds.
  • The gold coins are the thing people will remember, so don't skip them even if you skip other elements.
