Atlanta business puts the 'cute' in charcuterie with candy boards
ATLANTA - It’s a unique Atlanta-based business built around a simple premise: life is sweet…so why not make it even sweeter?
Elizabeth Schmitt is the founder and owner of ATL Boards, a company that crafts and sells candy charcuterie boards. And yes, the boards are exactly what you think they are: a play on the traditional charcuterie board, replacing the cured meats and cheeses with colorful candies from around the world. Schmitt’s boards range in size from small (4-by-4) to medium (6-by-6) to large (10-by-10), and are hand-picked to showcase specific color and flavor combinations. For example, the Flurry board is a winter-inspired creation, filled with gummy snowflakes and mini-snowmen and featuring flavors including vanilla and marshmallow.
Recently, Schmitt created a new small candy board called the Peachy Keen, which serves as a Valentine’s Day "love letter" to the Peach State. On sale for $36, Schmitt says a portion of the proceeds from Peachy Keen sales will be donated to The Atlanta Children’s Shelter.
