How To Make A Valentine’s Day Charcuterie Board

Step 1: Start with Frosting 

First off, make sure that the board is clean and dry before putting any items on it.

Then, prep your piping bag by placing your metal tip inside and snipping the end of the bag.

Scoop the pink frosting inside the piping bag.

Pipe a medium-sized heart in the middle of the round wooden charcuterie board.

Step 2: Assemble, Serve, and Enjoy

Organization is key when deciding what items to put on your board.  

Place the sprinkles on top of all heart-shaped frosting.

Surround the heart with mini marshmallows.

Place the pink and white frosted animal crackers around the marshmallows, alternating the colors and continuing the heart shape.

Fill the entire inside of the heart with strawberries.

Add about 6 strawberries to the left and right side of the heart to fill most of the rest of the charcuterie board.

Place one strawberry in the top center of the board in between the divet of the heart.

Use the piping bag to fill in any free areas of the charcuterie board, with dots of frosting. Top the frosting with sprinkles.

Serve and enjoy!

This recipe yields 1 round charcuterie board and can be served under 20 minutes.

Popular Substitutions & Additions

For tips, use a thick enough frosting that is pipeable enough to hold the star tip design. I used store-bought cream cheese frosting and dyed it pink.

Replace any charcuterie board items with your favorite pink, red or white snacks such as: Conversation heart candies, Cherry Twizzlers bites, and White cheddar popcorn.

Also, aim for variety, as this board can be completely customized to your liking. For a little extra flair, try the following:

• vegetables and fruits
• nuts
• something salty to balance out the sweetness
• desserts (pre-made or homemade such as cookies)
• dipping sauces and spreads

There are no limitations to what you can post on this board. Perhaps you could design your board around a specific theme or color scheme.

Remember to include the recipient's favorite treats when making a sweet charcuterie board as a gift.
