Packed with chocolates, lollies and fruit, this dessert grazing platter is the ultimate for entertaining… and it only takes 10 minutes to make!
I’ve developed a massive obsession with grazing platters lately… or to be more specific, devilishly sweet chocolate and dessert grazing platters! They’re my absolute FAVOURITE thing right now!!!!!
A few weeks ago I made a chocolate grazing platter for the baby shower of one of my besties.. and then this dessert grazing platter was made for the hens day of another one of my gorgeous friends! What’s better than beautiful friends and crazy delicious platters filled with chocolate, lollies and fruit (just to balance things out!).
If you’re planning a party or need to take a dessert to a celebration, then you NEED a dessert grazing platter in your life. They take no time at all to whip up (seriously.. 10 minutes max), they look fantastic (especially as a table centrepiece) and everyones happy because there’s SO much variety to choose from (and leftovers to take home!).

Top Tips For Making A Dessert Grazing Platter:
- choose a nice flat board or platter
- start off by placing all of the larger ingredients/bowls on the platter
- fill in the gaps with the smaller ingredients
- choose a wide variety of lollies, chocolates and fruits
- add as much colour as you can
- play around with the position of your ingredients until you’re happy with how it looks
- have party bags on hand so that guests can take home any leftovers
I like to choose a range of good old favourites (such as Curly Wurlys) as well as some fun ingredients (such as the sour worms).
Colour is the key here so look for lollies and chocolates that are bright!
If you can’t find some of the ingredients I’ve used in my dessert grazing platter, don’t worry at all… just choose any lollies and chocolates you like, follow the tips above and it will look AMAZING! Enjoy!! xx
