To Create the Board:
Start with a large board - using one with raised edges will help keep everything contained.
Begin by placing the largest items (like the Oreo Truffles, Cupcakes, Mini Ice Cream Cones and Dipped Oreos).
Then add next largest items like the licorice and larger candy pieces & larger berries.
Now add the medium sized items.
Fill in the holes with smallest items like M&M’s and yogurt raisins.
