I am a fan of adding a variety of items to my cheese trays. You will of course want the cheese but here are a few other options that pair well with your favorite cheeses:

Brookside Chocolate (These dark chocolate snacks with a hint of fruit work so well with cheese! Get them in a variety of flavors.)
Nuts (Buy the variety with sea salt to bring a salty addition to your tray.)
Fruits (Both fresh and dried varieties work well with cheese.)

Explore the options at your local grocery store then add all of your cheese and snacks to a gorgeous serving tray. My personal favorite of the Brookside Chocolate are the Goji and Raspberry flavors but I added all three varieties to my tray for my guests to enjoy. The dark chocolate pairs so well with the cheese and you get the fruit flavored center that really accents the other flavors. This is definitely my favorite way to enjoy Brookside Chocolate but you might enjoy them straight out of the bag!

Head to the grocery store and shop for these cheese tray essentials that will put a new spin on your party. Your guests will love this spread and it will only take you minutes to pull together. Of course, you can make a cheese tray for lunch any day of the week. My favorite mid-day meal is a cheese tray accented with Brookside Chocolate.

I mean how delicious does the Brookside Dark Chocolate and pomegranate flavor look in the pin below? I am off to enjoy my cheese tray with these amazing chocolates on the side.
