New Year’s Eve Dessert Board

New Year’s Eve by The Numbers

Give your guests something sweet to nibble as you wait for the big countdown with a New Year’s Eve Dessert Board. The very best thing about adding a dessert board to your celebration is how easy and super flexible it is to build and serve. I’ll show you a few options, but basically I hit the grocery store and buy all the treats that are black, white or gold. Candies, cookies, little cakes, nuts–anything goes! Then I arrange all my purchases around these fantastic ceramic number bowls by Just Artifacts on Amazon. Such an easy dessert to serve and it turns out great every time and tastes as great as it looks!

Just a head’s up, these number dishes sell out quick! So order yours well in advance. A few years ago, I went ahead and ordered the 2020 numbers and one of each of all the rest, so I’m set for the rest of the decade! I use the numbers for graduation boards, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. There are so many fun and creative ways to use these number dishes, so they’re well worth the investment! Get them here:

  • 1 – one
  • 2 – two
  • 3 – three
  • 4 – four
  • 5 – five
  • 6 – six
  • 7 – seven
  • 8 – eight
  • 9 – nine
  • 0 – zero 

A New Year’s Eve Tradition

We’ve been making these festive New Year’s Eve Dessert Boards, with the number dishes on them, for several years now! It’s become a sweet tradition at our New Year’s Eve party for our family and friends. We start collecting our black, white and gold treats in the week leading up to big night and then we have so much fun building it together and even more fun snacking on it throughout the evening as we wait for the clock to turn midnight. Keep scrolling for a glimpse at each of our NYE Dessert Boards over the years as well as lots of treat inspiration to put on your board when you recreate it.

Carmel popcorn, gold-wrapped chocolates, and gold-dipped fortune cookies add some shine to this year’s dessert board. To build this board, place your numbers across the center of a 20″ round wood board and arrange the treats around them, keeping an arc shape.

Then arrange your snacks in an arc around the rest of the board.
