01A Charcuterie Board With Irish Foods
For just a light St. Patrick's Day treat, you can make something like this snack-sized charcuterie board with specifically Irish foods. Assembled by TikToker @thatcheeseplate, this board has Irish cheddar, soda bread, rye, and corned beef. It's all about the traditional taste rather than a themed presentation.
02A Sweet Board With Lucky Charms
If you've got more of a sweet tooth, you might want to put together a dessert board. At the center of this board, TikToker @thepedalingpa has a Skittles rainbow that leads to a golden pot filled with Lucky Charms marshmallows ($1, Target). Surrounding the rainbow, you can also include some other green sweets like mint chocolate Ghirardelli squares ($25, Ghirardelli) and mint Oreos ($4, Target).
03An All Green Charcuterie Board
Since green is the color of St. Paddy's Day, you can't go wrong with just an all-green board. Follow TikToker @grapestocrepes and only use green veggies and fruits, like broccoli, kiwi, celery, and grapes. If you want to go above and beyond, you can also put a rainbow made out of sliced fruit at the center of all the green.
04A Hearty Charcuterie Board With Loaded Potatoes
Most charcuterie boards are for snacking on, but if you want something to really fill you up, put together this hearty St. Patrick's Day board. This is perfect for a planned picnic in the backyard to celebrate with your partner. On TikToker @shop.bycolette's board, there are loaded potatoes, chicken wings, and fried pickles surrounded by green veggies. It's like a full meal on one board.
05A St. Patrick's Day Board With Green Highlights
You don't have to put together a completely green charcuterie board if there are some non-green snacks you want to include. TikToker @charquteofficial has this subtle St. Patrick's Day board. At first glance, it may look just like a typical charcuterie board, but there are a few green highlights thrown in. For example, there is a green jalapeño pepper jelly for spreading onto your crackers and delicious green olives as well.
06A Gold And Green Charcuterie Board
Try making a two-tone charcuterie board that is green and gold. Taking a cue from TikToker @kaaayyyyllllaaaa, you can mix some green foods, like cucumbers, pickles, and sugared grapes, with some golden snacks, like carrots, walnuts, and Rolos ($4, Target). You could even use some black cauldrons ($8, Amazon) for your dips to resemble a leprechaun's pot of gold.
07A Shamrock Charcuterie Board
One way to make your charcuterie board St. Patrick's Day themed is to cut your cheese into shamrock shapes. Just use a shamrock cookie cutter ($7, Amazon) or freehand cut your variety of cheeses into shamrock shapes. Then, place around your board like TikToker @twinspirational with some shamrock cookies and mini cupcakes with shamrock decorations.
08A Charcuterie Board With Only Irish Cheese
There are plenty of Irish cheeses out there that you can make an entire board with just Irish cheese. TikToker Ashley Carter (@watchmylocs) uses three different Irish cheeses with some rose-shaped meats and chocolate-covered strawberries to fill in the additional space. To achieve a similar board, you just need to pick out a variety of Irish cheeses that are soft, hard, and crumbly.
