Spring is in the air, which means pastels, cute things, flower inspired meals and sunshine! Around this time of the year in particular I get quite excited because I’m a big fan of holidays (if you didn’t already know!), and Easter is around the corner which in my mind means egg hunts, and the most adorable (and delicious) Easter charcuterie board you’ve ever seen! Whether you’re hosting a spring brunch, planning an Easter party, or just love themed charcuterie boards, this Easter cheese board is a guaranteed hit. Think: bunny-shaped cheese, baby chick snacks, and pastel-perfect garnishes that are almost too cute to eat… almost. Let’s build the Easter snack board of your dreams—equal parts festive, fresh, and ridiculously fun to assemble.
A charcuterie board is traditionally a spread of meats, cheeses, fruits, nuts, and accompaniments beautifully arranged on a board or tray. Over the years, themed charcuterie boards have taken on a life of their own, especially around the holidays! No holiday is safe in my books, so you know I had to put together an Easter themed snack board with all the fixings! From savory meats and cheeses to candies, fruits, and crackers, a charcuterie board is an edible centerpiece that’s easy to assemble and totally customizable.

Snack boards and charcuterie are all about getting experimental, so feel free to gather anything you want. Here’s what I use to create my Easter Snack Board:
Making this board takes a little patience, but it is all worth it in the end because the result is ridiculously adorable!!!
Use a bunny-shaped cookie cutter to cut soft cheese into little bunnies. Spread mascarpone on a cracker, place the cheese bunny on top, add crinkle-cut carrot slices for ears, and a goji berry for the nose.
Cut hard cheese into small squares. Use two squares for the chick’s body. Make wings from sliced cheese, legs and beaks from carrot, and tiny raisin pieces for the eyes. Spread mascarpone on a cracker, place the feet and wings first, then layer the cheese squares and add the face.
Cut circles from hard cheese using a small round cookie cutter. Spread mascarpone on a cracker, place the cheese circle on top, and add two raisin eyes and a carrot triangle for the beak.
Use a flower-shaped veggie cutter to cut the centers out of the cucumber and carrot slices. Spread cream cheese on a cracker, place the hollowed-out cucumber slice on top, and fill the center with a carrot cutout.
Cover your board with baby lettuce leaves. Add all your decorated crackers, scatter baby tomatoes, cucumber cutout centers, and fresh edible flowers around for a festive spring look.
Using fresh ingredients like flowers and greens is the best way to jazz up your Easter charcuterie. You’ll notice I used flowers and lettuce, but you can do whatever you want or use what you’ve got on hand! Any type of green is great as a base, gives the green fields vibe to the board. Rosemary, thyme, edible flowers and any other dainty, cute herb or flower are also great additions. If you’re making this for children, make sure that everything is totally edible! Adding filigree not only makes the board visually more beautiful, but it also ties in the whole spring theme and brings additional aromatics to the board!
This Easter bunny charcuterie board is super flexible! Here are some fun ways to switch things up:
Let’s be real—kids are obsessed with fun food. This Easter snack board is full of whimsy and color, and it’s totally hands-on. Let them help cut out bunny shapes or decorate with raisins and carrots. You can even set out little snack cups and let them build their own boards. Bonus? You’ll sneak in veggies, cheese, and protein while still making it feel like a treat.
This Easter charcuterie board hits the sweet spot between festive and functional. It’s easy to make, incredibly pretty, and everyone (big and small) will love it. Its Perfect for Easter brunch or parties while being budget-friendly since no fancy ingredients are required. You can make it both sweet or savoury or mix the two together to please all the snack lovers. It also doubles as a beautiful centerpiece for a party, and you can customize it based on who your crowd it. It’s impressive and fun to let your imagination run wild!
Can I make this Easter cheese board ahead of time? Yes! Assemble your ingredients the night before, then arrange and decorate right before serving.
How big should my board be? For 4–6 people, a medium-size cutting board or serving tray works great. For larger gatherings, go big!
Can I make a sweet version? Absolutely! Swap savory items for mini donuts, cookies, jellybeans, fruit, chocolate bunnies, and pastel popcorn.
