Whether it’s game day, movie night, games with friends, or when that snack attack hits, a “chipcuterie” grazing board of your favorite chips and dips is exactly what’s needed!
I AM A DIPPER
For real, I love chips and dips. 99.9% of the time I would reach for a bag of ruffled potato chips and a bowl of French Onion Dip over a cookie or slice of cake any day.
You see I am a very textural eater. I like not only layers of flavors but also layers of textures.
If I make a turkey and cheese sandwich, it has to have chips on it. A tuna Fish sandwich – absolutely has to have ruffled potato chips.
Peanut Butter and Jelly – give me those little mini pretzels all day on the sandwich.
Create your own Chips & Dips (Chipcuterie) Boards
Continuing my partnership with John Boos Co I’m giving you a new grazing board for their #BYOBB series. In this Bring Your Own Boos Block series, I’ll be showcasing how to highlight their amazing boards in the most delicious way!
The Board
Today’s board features their Maple Classic Reversible Wood End Grain Chopping Block, 20″x 15″ x 2.25 board.
I actually have this size and their larger 24″ x 18″ x 2.25. Plus if you remember seeing my Grazzi table from them, this is the same top of that table too!
Grab Your Ingredients
There is no rhyme or one type of chip you should use. The same principle holds true for the dips. Go with what you love. This board is so big that it worked perfectly with 5 different dips and 4 types of chips
I went with:
- Chips – Tortilla Chips, Big Scoop Fritos, Buffalo Ranch Doritos, Black Bean Tortilla Chips
- Dips – Roasted Pepper Salsa, Corn Black Blean & Shrimp Salsa, Salsa Verde, Queso, and Queso Blanco
Add The Big Stuff First
Since the chips will kind of “river” around the bowls, add the bowls of dips first. Go with various sizes and styles even!
Add Your Chips!
So I will totally confess that I swear it was like “one chip for the board and one chip for Lori” while I was making this. I LOVE chips. Those are my downfall!
- Start with your larger chips first and position them closest with the most appropriate dip. Again, there are no rules for this. Here I started with the tortilla chips
- Next, add the next chips. In my case, the Fritos. And yes, allow them to overlap some.
- Then follow that with the 3rd type of chip or for me, the Black Bean Chips, still overlapping.
- Finally, add the last set of chips.
Serve & Enjoy
My advice is to make this at the place you plan on serving it as it can get heavy and chips may fall if you try and move the board while fully loaded.
Trust me – my studio floor had more than its fair share of chips on it.
Make Ahead
For grazing boards like this, once you have the chips in place, you can remove any dip that needs to stay refrigerated (the ‘holes’ you made on the board will stay fairly open) and then simply cover the board with plastic wrap to prevent the chips from going stale.
At most, you can make this the day of. So if the game is on at 1 pm, you can absolutely set the chips up at 9 am, cover the board and when you’re ready to serve, just uncover and add the dip bowls.
Chip Substitutions
Honestly, you can go with what YOU like and what your dietary restrictions are.
- Pretzels – go with all different shapes and flavors or pretzels. Pair that with honey mustard, ranch, cheese, beer cheese, and chipotle ranch
- Potato chips – god I love potato chips LOL. Go with sturdier chips that can hold up to being dipped or scooping up stuff.
- Doritos – Since there are 8,874 flavors, go wild and serve with queso, ranch, hot honey spiced dips, and so forth
Dip Substitutions
So be creative. Not all dips with chips have to be savory or cheesy.
- No Bake Cheesecake Dips – Try Brownie Batter and Peanut Butter Cup dips with pretzels or potato chips
- Frosting Dips – Chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry buttercreams go incredibly well with Fritos, Pretzels, and Potato Chips
- Hummus – go with assorted hummus flavors and add various pita chips, mini crispy naan, and pretzels

Chips and salsas & dips are my favorite ( I also sour cream and guac) I don’t like seafood so I would replace that with sour cream & guac. That would be my perfect grazing board. I’m in love with that board and the pattern.
Lori says
That’s the beauty of these boards; go with what you love! I love when folks are creative!
Best Kitchen Wishes!
