Learn how to make the perfect Valentines Charcuterie Board, full of your favorite sweets and snacks! It’s the perfect way to celebrate.
Charcuterie Boards are all the rage right now, but they’re something I have loved long before their rise to fame. Make a Valentines Charcuterie Board for your family and you will sure to be their favorite.
I truly dislike going out to dinner on holidays like Valentine’s Day. Besides expensive set menus, I don’t like the crowds and I feel like it’s so impersonal. I much rather stay at home, put on a good movie with my family and enjoy some of the snacks we put on our charcuterie board.
Some people like to call charcuterie boards, grazing boards, because you just sort of graze on them. Get the whole family involved with putting their favorite snacks and foods on your Valentines Charcuterie Board
How to Put Together a Valentines Charcuterie Board
A board like seen here will serve 6-8 people. Less people? Just serve less snacks on your board.
What you will need:
- Charcuterie Board (Large Wooden Cutting Board or Large Wooden Turntable)
- Presentation Bowls

How to Arrange Your Board
- Place Brownie Bites in the center of the board to serve as the anchor.
