Dessert Board
On a large board or platter, arrange the chocolate bark, roasted hazelnuts, sugar cookies, dried fruits like apricots, dated, and figs, pomegranate, orange wedges, and dark chocolate around the cookie dough dip.
Add some evergreens around the board if you have them, and place the different elements scattered throughout the board instead of all clumped in one place.
Notes
• Cooked chickpeas, or canned and rinsed. I just mean not dried chickpeas.
