How We Made Ours
Charcuterie Board Tips
- Try different treats: Each year, a variety of new Valentine’s day candy is released; you can mix it up with both new and old treats that you and your guests will love!
- Use different shapes: Using heart-shaped cookie cutters to create outlines/bowls on the board adds to the theme. You could also cut your items into the shape of a heart.
- Add extra decorations: We used felt hearts around our board, but you can also add roses for Valentine's Day and any other themed decorations you have around the house.
The Final Product
Our board is just an example of how you can take any candy and make the board your own! What makes charcuterie boards unique is that no two boards will look the same, even if the same items are used! Anyone can make one, and it’s great because you don’t need any cooking skills to make this look great.
