A shared snack platter is a collection of small appetisers meant to be served to guests on a single serving tray. The assortment explores curated choices of preparations featuring sweet, spicy, savoury variety that pairs well with the theme of love, as well as cocktails sorted according to the contrasted balance of drink and food.
Layering colours subtly through edible details like pink, berry-studded macarons alongside white cheeses, add visual presentation without overwhelming the set-up, highlighting flavour balance.
With their velvety smoothness and textural contrast, chocolate-dipped confections are a welcome upgrade for a themed snack tray served alongside red cocktails.
Adding a little honey or powdered sugar as a garnish to the berry varieties improves presentation as well as flavour, making seasonal, organic berries an apt choice.
The savoury and umami-rich tastes of cold cuts and cheese options provide dimension to a platter, with variety as well as contrast, alongside richness.
Lighten the contrast of themed treats with fillings like citrus, berry or vanilla; add depth and complexity with chocolate or caramel while choosing miniature portions that require minimal prep. *Drink Responsibly. This communication is for audiences above the age of 25.
