Autumn Cheese Board

This beautiful autumn vegan cheese board features the Cedar Wood Hex Serving Board and Fall Scents Mini Candle Trio sent to me by The Vegan Warehouse. It is full of sweet and salty flavors inspired by fall. While you can get creative with your own assortment, I’ve listed everything I included in my version below.
