allergy friendly snackboard

A snack board is perfect for any time of day as it has the perfect combination of a little bit of everything. In this post, learn how to make easy allergy friendly snack board loaded with sweet, spicy, savory and crunchy bites.

While snack boards are known more as a party food but can also be a fun weeknight meal. Perfect for game or movie nights or when you don't feel like cooking much.

This is the very first time I have ever made a snack/cheese/charcuterie board and I discovered that Allergy Friendly Snack Board is pretty simple to make. I ended up making two different variations.


The two different Board Variations

  • Vegan Cheese Board: A combination of meats, different dairy free cheeses, fruits and vegetables.
  • Sweet and Savory Snack Board: A combination of salty crackers and sweet cookies and candies, makes it more like a dessert board.

Read ahead to see what I included in each and learn how to assemble the boards.
