Start in one corner and work your way in. I would suggest planning out the arrangement by sketching it on paper first. Here are some things to consider when building your dessert board.

1

Price - if you're using a fairly large board, be mindful that it could take a lot of different items to fill it up. The costs of pre-packaged goodies can add up quickly.

2

Flavor/Texture - Try including a range of flavor & textural elements. Shapes - It's good to use all kinds of shapes and also mimic them across the board. Keep it simple with broken chocolate bars. Include square and round cookies.

3

Height/containers - If you stack the items high and use small containers it will also add more visual interest. Small things like nuts work great in a tiny bowl or ramekin or paper cups.

4

Color - Color is a huge component of charcuterie boards. Create composition in a triangle shape using ground colors like dark brown (chocolate) for a balanced look.
