Cut Heart Shapes
First things first; start by using heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut hearts into the cheese slices.
Using a shot glass, make pepperoni or salami roses by placing the pepperoni onto the glass overlapping the slices.
Then remove the pepperoni and arrange it into a rose shape.
Arrange the Valentine’s treats on the board.
It helps to use small bowls for the Valentine-themed candy and fill in the empty spaces with heart-shaped foods like mini marshmallows.
Conversation hearts would also be a great option in place of the marshmallows.
That’s all there is to it! Isn’t this a fun charcuterie board?
It’s the perfect way to enjoy a glass of wine with your best girlfriends or a sweet dessert board with your Valentine.
The great thing is you can customize it to include all of your favorite things.
Adding real roses would be a great addition to a romantic snack board.
