Healthy Fruit and Chocolate Party Tray

I love this healthy fruit and chocolate party tray for a holiday party or carry-in.  Super simple to pull together. The Dark Chocolate hummus is amazing! Try Boar’s Head Dark Chocolate Dessert Hummus.

Pick up your favorite fruits and nuts.  Strawberries, grapes, pineapple, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, cashews.  Add in a few pretzels and/or crackers.  Chocolate covered almonds, peanuts, raisins work great too!
