valentine’s day dessert charcuterie board (and a list of treat ideas)

We’ve had an early start to the Valentine’s Day celebrations around here (and still have a Gal-entine’s party AND a special Valentine’s dinner with the nieces on the docket!). Since we’re on a themed charcuterie board kick (and have an extra affection for dessert themed grazing boards), this set up was an easy call.

Putting together a dessert grazing board is almost too easy (gather treats, pour in piles to overcrowd a serving platter). Tracking down fun Valentine’s Day-is treats was kind of a treasure hunt, so I assembled a handy list of pink, red and love-y treats (including items that would be a good fit, but that we didn’t use for our board!) to make that part easy.

PINK TREAT IDEAS (FOR A DESSERT CHARCUTERIE BOARD)

-pink Reese’s hearts

-pink XO cookies or frosted circus animal cookies (Mother’s is the brand)

-pink chocolate bar like Chocolove Ruby chocolate

-pink frosted donut

-strawberry marshmallows (these are Smashmallow)

-pink bon bons

-pink macarons

-strawberry wafers

RED TREAT IDEAS (FOR A DESSERT CHARCUTERIE BOARD)

-red Sour Patch kids

-red cinnamon hearts

OTHER VALENTINES TOUCHES

-other Valentine’s cookies (our grocery store has an entire section right now)
