What Is a Snack Board?<\/h2>\r\nWe'll keep it simple\u2014a snack board can be anything you want it to be. It can have your favorite meats, cheeses, jams, vegetables, berries, crackers and nuts. It can also be a board made up of fun finger foods<\/a> like mozzarella sticks, cheeseburger sliders, chicken tenders and onion rings.\r\n\r\nSo how does a snack board differ from a charcuterie board or an antipasto platter? Traditionally, charcuterie boards have a collection of meats<\/a> like cured sausage, prosciutto and salami. The French word charcuterie came from an earlier form of the word, chair cuite, meaning \"cooked meat.\"\r\n\r\nAntipasto platters, similar to charcuterie boards, have various meats. The difference with antipasto platters is that you'll more commonly see Italian hors d'oeuvres<\/a> like olives, pepperoncini and marinated artichoke hearts.\r\n
