    Putting together a Chocolate Grazing Platter has never been so easy... all you need is 5 minutes and a whole lot of your favourite chocolates!!!

    If you've been visiting Bake Play Smile for a while now, you'll know that I'm ALL about things that look and taste amazing...  but take little to no effort. And this Chocolate Grazing Platter is exactly that (about a bazillion times over!!).

    I'd been wanting to make one of these boards for ages... and so you can totally understand my excitement when one of my besties had her baby shower (and I was put on 'sweet food duty'). The Chocolate Grazing Platter was finally going to happen!!!!

    This is honestly the easiest thing to prepare. It takes less than 5 minutes and really gives the 'WOW' factor to any party. And did I mention that it tastes amazing!!!???

    The Ultimate Ingredients For A Chocolate Grazing Platter

    For my chocolate platter I used the following:

    • wafer sticks
    • strawberries (you need that pop of colour!)
    • blocks of chocolate (I used a mix of milk chocolate, white chocolate, cookies & cream chocolate and Aero mint chocolate)
    • Maltesers
    • Reese peanut butter cups
    • Flake bars
    • Curly Wurly bars
    • Aero bars
    • chocolate buds (I used a mixed pack of caramel, white chocolate, milk chocolate and Freckles)
    • snowballs (chocolate covered marshmallows)
    • Toblerone chocolate
    • Turkish Delight bars
    • Cherry Ripe bars
    • Clinkers
    • Picnic bars
    • Nutella jar
    • Pocky sticks

    * But please, please, please feel free to use whatever chocolate bars/blocks you have available - the whole idea is simply to fill the entire board with a big selection of chocolates. It doesn't matter what chocolates you choose... just pick a nice variety!

    Tips For Putting Together A Chocolate Grazing Platter

    • start with the biggest chocolates first (or the ones that are going in cups/containers/bowls etc on your platter)
    • bowls/containers etc are fantastic for sectioning off parts of your platter (and for holding small chocolates!)
    • use large blocks of chocolate in the centre of the platter
    • fill the small gaps with little chunks of chocolate
    • use a variety of chocolates in different colours
    • strawberries add a colourful and fresh touch
    • move everything around until it's sitting nicely and you have a good balance of colours/heights

      Oh wow. I’m South African living in California. And I would love to make this plate with Flakes and Turkish delight and Aero. And what to we call that peanut chocolate again. Not the reeses. Oh man I’m homesick now big time!

        Hi Trish, oh gosh it really depends on how much chocolate you use and the brands you buy! You could make it almost as cheap or as expensive as you like. From memory, I think the chocolates for this platter cost me around $50ish and served a party with around 30 people (there were also other desserts there) - and we had leftovers on the platter. Hope that helps!! xx
