Why a Dessert Board is the Best!

- It's fun and festive!
- It's easy and fast to put together.
What You'll Need
- A plate, tray or bowl
- 3-5 bowls (if you have a heart shaped one, make sure to add this for an extra cute touch!)
- Festive treats and candies listed below
What Desserts to Add to Your Valentine's Day Treat Board
Candy
- Pink or Red Cotton Candy. We purchased ours at Dollarama
- Pink and Red Smarties (please note in Canada Smarties are chocolate covered candies and similar to M&M's, so if you're in the U.S. use M&M's!)
- Hershey Kisses we used both kisses and hugs!
- Gummy Heart Candies. We purchased ours at Dollarama.
- Cinnamon Hearts
- Double Bubble Gum
- Mini Oreos or cookies of your choosing
Other Ideas for Your Valentine's Day Charcuterie Tray
Cookies & Cupcakes
- Use a combination of homemade and store bought cookies on your tray. The homemade cookies we recommend are our red velvet cookies and the best monster cookies with a Valentine's theme using red and pink m&m's.
Fruit
- Strawberries cut into heart shapes
- Raspberries
Other
- Valentine's Popcorn: essentially popcorn with pink and red sprinkles, m&m's and any other festive Valentine's treats!
How to Assemble a Valentine's Day Charcuterie Board
Begin by placing 2-3 small bowls onto your tray. I like having a variety of shapes and heights to add some excitement to the board. I've used a cupcake liner and one tray to give different heights and depths.
Start by placing your larger items such as cupcakes and cookies on your tray. Add items one by one working from the centre outward. It's easiest if your tray doesn't have a lip so items do not fall off!
Fill to your hearts desire and enjoy!!
