🍓 Ingredients To Consider

🍬 How To Make

Making this dessert board is simple. Here are some tips on how to make your Valentine’s day charcuterie board, and dessert board ideas for inspiration on what to place on your board.

GatherSweets| Have all the ingredients organized and ready to add to the charcuterie board. I listed a bunch of ideas above but feel free to swap. If you have a special treat you want to make the focal points, then place it in the center and then another spot or two on the board.

Placing Candies and Treats| Add the Hershey chocolate syrup in a bowl to the board first. Then start adding ingredients around in small groups of like items. Use smaller items to fill in empty spots on the board. This is going to make it look full and hide any empty spaces. Nuts, small candies, and more are great for the smaller spots that need to be filled. Then use larger items to spread over the board so there are different sizes of items all over the board.

Enjoy| Once you have the board arranged the way you want, everyone can start eating it right away. Or yu can cover and store in the fridge if perishable items until you are ready to serve it up. This is so much fun to make and a great option for when you want to nibble.

  • When possible, don’t put foods that are the same shade and color right next to each other. It will add some variety when you group different colored items near each other.
  • Adding a variety of textures is the key to adding a brilliant look to the board.
  • Fill in any empty spots on the charcuterie board with extra chocolates, M&M’s, or even nuts.
