Charcuterie boards are often associated with meats and cheeses, but the new Candy Charcuterie Tray Line from Nassau Candy has been developed to help change this. The clever candy product range consists of candy platters with an array of sweet treats laid out in compartments spread across a platter to allow for easy gifting and serving occasions. The product range will come in three options to start including Sweet & Salty, Candy Shoppe Classics and Sour Spot, which are being showcased at the 2025 Sweets and Snacks Expo.
Director of Marketing and Brand Strategy Dana Rodio spoke on the Candy Charcuterie Tray Line saying, "A major part of any celebration is candy and snacks. Our new Candy Charcuterie Trays and Candy Filled Paint Cans bring the festivities while making celebrating simple. Bold packaging designs means no need for gift wrap, while a readymade candy tray and unique paint can container offer a professional presentation every time."
