Instructions
- Slice Apples: Slice the Honeycrisp and Granny Smith apples and toss them with a little lemon juice to prevent browning. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel before arranging them on the board.
- Prepare Grape Dippers: Insert a pretzel stick into the top of each green grape to create grape dippers, providing a fun and easy way to dip.

- Arrange Apples: Neatly circle the fondue pots with the prepared apple slices, creating an inviting centerpiece for the dipping board.
- Display Pretzel Twists and Cookies: Place the salted pretzel twists and halved chocolate wafer cookie sticks in small jars on opposite sides of the board for easy grabbing.
- Add Toppings: Spoon all the garnish toppings—crushed toffee bits, mini chocolate chips, fall themed sprinkles, chopped nuts, crushed Oreos, shredded coconut, marshmallow bits, and mini M&Ms—into separate mini bowls positioned around the edges of the board.
- Fill in the Board: Fill any empty spaces on the board with the graham cracker pieces, vanilla wafer cookies, and the pretzel-grape dippers to complete the board’s abundance.
