I would not advise this. Pallet wood is very rough and knotty and full of nails. It would take an extreme amount of sanding to have it be smooth enough . Or you could cover it with a thin piece of plywood that would be smooth.
Here's one way Irene! You will have to consider that most pallets have been treated chemicals and the boards are not consistently sized in thickness and width. It can be done but you might consider other wood!

Some pallets are also treated and you do not want that treated wood anywhere in your home.
I agree with the others that some pallets have been treated with chemicals, so keep that in mind. Also you want to use a sealer that's food safe. With all that in mind here's a DIY: https://simplemom225.wordpress.com/2018/05/18/diy-pallet-countertop/
