Instructions
- Clean the Board: Thoroughly clean and dry your serving board to ensure a hygienic base for arranging your desserts and candies.
- Start Arrangement: Begin arranging your board by placing the Zebra Cakes, mini powdered donuts, and chocolate chip cookies as the foundation.
- Position Zebra Cakes: Place the Zebra Cakes in the center of the board to act as the focal point, then surround them evenly with the chocolate chip cookies to create a layered effect.

- Place Pretzels: Position the chocolate covered pretzels on the middle areas of each side of the chocolate chip cookies, balancing the board symmetrically.
- Decorate with Pops and Candy Canes: Arrange twist pops diagonally on two corners of the board, replicate this with rock candy pops on opposite corners, and then randomly distribute candy canes across the board for color and holiday cheer.
- Fill Spaces with Wafers and Cookies: Lay Pirouline wafers diagonally in open spaces around the board, and place mini oatmeal cookies atop the chocolate chip cookies to cover gaps and add texture.
- Add Christmas Kisses: Scatter the Christmas mix kisses throughout the board, filling empty areas to enhance the festive look and provide extra sweet treats.
- Place Peppermint Sticks: Insert peppermint sticks where you feel the board needs extra pops of red and white color, balancing the overall arrangement.
- Sprinkle Decorations: Generously add red and green sprinkles all over the board, making the entire dessert display colorful, festive, and fun.
