Cardboard Letters For Charcuterie

Cardboard Letters For Charcuterie – Making meatloaf letter boxes is an incredibly easy way to impress your friends without doing anything terribly impressive. I made several charcuterie letter boxes over the weekend for game night and Father’s Day. They are perfect for your next party, event, dinner or happy hour!

First, you will need to cut off the top of the paper mache letter boxes with a box cutter. With Joann’s boxes, I was able to start it with a box cutter and then peel off the top based on how it folded.

Next, line your box with wax paper. I didn’t like the idea of just putting meat and cheese on cardboard. So I cut out strips of wax paper and lined the entire bottom of the letters.

Finally, arrange the meat, cheese, fruit and nuts. Get variations of each and try to keep two foods of the same color from touching each other. For these boards I used gouda, white cheddar, mozzarella, salami, pepperoni, prosciutto and Boursin cheese. I also added pistachios, sliced almonds, grapes, kiwi, two types of crackers, pretzel chips, and strawberries.

Both box sets were a big hit! I love how they turned out and will definitely be making them for any events we host in the future. We’re here to give you practical tips, recipes and ideas to make your home life a little easier.

The sky’s the limit when it comes to arranging snacks in food board letters. Choose a color theme, go for a monochrome look, organize by food type – whatever you want! Regardless of which route you chose, there are a few things I learned in the snacking process that I thought might be helpful to share:

I know I’ll definitely be using them several times this Christmas season – there are so many occasions to use them and the impressive display always impresses!
