What Are Jarcuterie Dessert Jars?

Think of a dessert charcuterie board. What would you normally put on the traditional charcuterie board to cater to a sweet tooth? Most people will add a combination of fruits, nuts, pretzel sticks and chocolate. Instead of spreading these ingredients out on a charcuterie board, you’ll place the ingredients in individual jars.

Each guest will get their own jar full of sweet treats, such as strawberries, chocolate hearts, marshmallows, and even cookies. You can hand these individual servings out for all kinds of events. If you like the idea of jarcuterie, be sure to give it a try. It’s a portable snack board with all of your favorite treats!

I absolutely love personal charcuterie boards. the single serve option means I don’t have to share with anyone. I get to enjoy my own jarcuterie! It’s my own personal charcuterie board and it’s the perfect way to enjoy a party! This is also a really fun idea for a thoughtful doorstep drop.

How to Make Your Jarcuterie Dessert Jars Look Their Best

You can also cut the tops off the strawberries and a slit in the center to give your strawberries a heart shape. Add them in a row on a stick and place them in the glass jars before adding some of the other sweet treats to your jars.

Why Jarcuterie Dessert Jars Are Such a Hit

Jarcuterie is the perfect solution to social distancing and keeping germs at bay.

These single-serving charcuterie boards are so easy and better than a dessert board.

People will love having a jar to themselves. If they don’t finish what is inside of it, they can take it home with them, eat the treats, and then save the mini mason jars.

The jarcuterie concept is great for fancy dinner parties or even a good reason for a holiday food gift. These individual containers also awesome for small gatherings. The great thing about this is that you can mix and match food items to your heart’s content and make your perfect jar.
