One of my all time favorite things to make are charcuterie boards for the holidays. While we are not hosting anyone, I do have some amazing kiddos that absolutely love sweets. You can apply these same techniques to any themed holiday dessert board.
My board is a combination of homemade items and store bough sweets. We drizzled the chocolate on the strawberry wafers and made the popcorn. I went with a pink and white theme with touches of red.
To celebrate in the countdown of Valentine’s Day, I wanted to share my Labor of Love Sweet Board” with you. Also see my “Valentine’s Day Breakfast Board” as well. This board houses all of our favorites in one place.
Here’s what I included on my board:
- Heart and envelope cookies by Dani
- Heart marshmallows
- Caramel Pretzel logs
- Strawberry wafers drizzled in chocolate and sprinkles
- White chocolate pretzels
- Mini donuts
- Powdered donuts
- Popcorn drizzled with chocolate
- Mini cupcakes
- Mini heart cakes
I recommend first choosing your board and making sure it will be able to fit all the goodies you have. Start with your largest items, such as my cookies. I chose to layer them around the bowl. Try not to mimic the same pattern on your board or put two of the same item or color together.
Choose different sizes and shapes on your board. I had rectangles for the wafers, hearts for the marshmallows and cookies (but different sizes and textures.
These festive boards are one of my favorites to put together. So many hands go into making this and by that I mean little ones grabbing a sweet or two. Have fun making it and have even more fun enjoying it. I would love to see all your creations on Instagram. Please share them with me.
Love,
Amanda
