Valentine’s Day Charcuterie Board
This is an extra creative take on the cheese board with candy only.
Forget the cheese and meats, you GNOME this Valentine themed board wouldn’t be as sweet without with chocolates, red, pink and purple M&M’s, heart candy and strawberries.
When you’re making a dessert board with candy, think about using candy that can be displayed on a platter without getting soggy, stale or melting.
Hard candies, candy coated chocolates, soft fruit snacks or gummy candies are always great choices. When you start adding chocolate, baked goods such as brownies, cookies and cupcakes, be mindful of how long you plan to display your board. Cookies can get hard or frosting and chocolate can easily melt in the heat.
Fresh or dried fruits are always great additions to a dessert board.

I used white yogurt covered pretzels for the beard, but you could also use mini marshmallows.
