This is the easiest and most impressive Valentine’s Day Dessert Board perfect for date night or a Galentine’s celebration with friends. Easy to customize, it takes minutes to put together and is also great to prepare in advance.

Charcuterie boards are truly one of my favorite things to make. They are SO fun to create since you can customize them however you please! This Valentine’s Day Dessert Board is a winner for kids, date night at home, or a ladies celebration of this cute holiday.

Choose any cutting board you have at home and cover it with any themed Valentine’s Day treats you see at the store! I love cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, marshmallows, fruit, and candy hearts (of course!). Both my husband and kids look forward to enjoying this as a special holiday treat every year.

If you love a charcuterie board, I have made them for almost every holiday. Check out my Christmas Charcuterie Board, a fun festive Halloween Cheese Board and lets not forget about the epic 4th of July Grazing Board!

How to Make Valentine’s Day Dessert Board

Find a large or small board in your kitchen depending on the amount of people you plan to host.
Fill the board with large items first, evenly spacing them around the board.
Add the smaller treats in the small holes around the board, until you have a beautiful presentation. Enjoy!

Expert Tips

Have fun with the ingredients. I like to always keep my eyes open at any stores I’m shopping at to collect fun candies and cookies the weeks leading up to the holiday.
Make your own chocolate covered pretzels, strawberries, or Oreos. Just buy some chocolate or colored candy melts at the store. Microwave with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Dip into the mixture and allow to cool until set. It’s too easy!
Add fresh fruit to balance all of the sweets! I love adding red grapes, strawberries, raspberries, anything with a little red color to it.
Make it savory if you desire. You are more than welcome to also add cheese cubes, salami, and crackers if you want a sweet and savory board.
