The Ultimate Valentine’s Day Charcuterie Dessert Board
When my daughter had a sleepover with her friends, we wanted to put together something extra fun (and extra sweet!) for them to enjoy.
Enter: the ultimate Valentine’s Day charcuterie dessert board! It’s a festive, over-the-top mix of their favorite candies, cookies, and chocolates—basically, a sugar-lover’s dream. And it’s ridiculously easy to assemble.
The trick to making any charcuterie board look visually stunning is simple: group like items together and fill every bit of space. No gaps, no empty spots—just a beautiful, overflowing spread of treats.
For this board, we went fully store-bought, but if you’re feeling ambitious, you can always add homemade touches like chocolate-covered strawberries or fresh-baked cookies. Either way, it’s guaranteed to impress!
Gather Your Ingredients
Here are some fun and festive treats to include on your Valentine’s Day dessert board:
- Chocolate-covered strawberries
- Heart-shaped cookies
- Valentine’s M&M’s
- Mini cupcakes
- Pink Marshmallows
- Gummy candies (hearts, lips, or bears!)
- Chocolate truffles
- Pink Wafer cookies
- Popcorn balls
- Chocolate covered Pretzels
- Licorice
- Valentine Lollipops
Run out of candy ideas? You can also “fill in” some of the gaps with flowers. I used roses here as a center point and filled around them. Feel free to get creative and add non edible (but pretty) items as well.
