When to Make this Burrata Snowman Board

This is such a colorful board and will be a hit with kids and adults alike. Hosting a Frozen party? Make this the perfect Olaf board or serve this anytime during the month of December – or go crazy and serve it up in January!

I love serving this before dinner with small plates and toothpicks or forks. Since the burrata can get a wee bit messy, a few napkins will help keep things going.
