How to Make This Ahead of Time

You can totally make these dessert nachos ahead of time! Start out but making the chips. You can store them in an airtight container for a few days before using them for this! (As long as you don’t eat them all up!). Then, on the day that you want to serve this, wash and chop up all of your fruits. Place them in their own container and store them in the fridge. You can buy the sauce or make your own beforehand and store that as well. Then, when it comes time to prepare these dessert nachos, all you will have to do is put everything together and you will be done in less than 5 minutes! Enjoy!
