Recipe developer and food blogger Justine Doiron started a craze this fall when she posted a video of herself assembling a gorgeous butter board on her justine_snacks TikTok account. Butter boards—apparently invented by chef Joshua McFadden—are literally that: boards of thickly spread room temperature butter topped with whatever garnishes you fancy. Justine's original version, with herbs, red onion, lemon zest and edible flowers, has gotten more than eight million views! Since then, people have come up with countless variations, some with fruits and nuts, others with Asian flavors or seasonal themes, etc. Her goal of making butter boards "the next charcuterie board" is well underway. 

Here, Justine shares two options that are perfect for the holiday season. The candied nut and kumquat board is a "fun, sweeter take." The brown butter one requires a little extra prep, but neither needs more than 15 minutes or so to assemble. The best part is you can switch up the ingredients to whatever you like—have fun with it! Serve them with your favorite accoutrements, such as crusty bread, toast points, crackers, veggies, etc.
