Equipment

  • Charcuterie board, various smaller bowls

Ingredients

Ingredients Based on Size of Board

  • 10-12 packages Valentine's Day candy, assorted choices (large board)
  • 6-8 packages Valentine's Day candy, assorted choices (medium board)
  • 4-6 packages Valentine's Day candy, assorted choices (small board)

Instructions

Build a Foundation

  • Place any bowls first. Then, place any larger candy (such as the cupcakes, chocolate Valentine characters (unicorn and raccoon), large candy packages and twizzlers around the edges). This sets your foundation. From there, you will want to arrange your items in descending order focusing on next heaviest or large items. The items should get gradually smaller and fill in the gaps.

Create Movement on the Board

  • You want to utilize movement to create a beautiful board. Experiment with placing your bowls off-center in a variety of places on the board. When placing the foods, you can create a combination of wavy patterns or more uniform placements. Don’t be afraid to play.

Contrast your Colors

  • When placing your foods, contrast your colors indifferent areas of the board. For example, if you have pink candy, you might place them near white or red candy instead of near the same color. This creates visual excitement.

Vary your Sizes

  • Play around with placing larger items next to smaller items. You can also experiment with different sizes of Valentine's candy.

Vary Flavors

  • Depending on your preferences, it is always great to have a variety of flavors on the plate. Use different chocolates, gummies, sour candy, lollipops, twizzlers, marshmallows etc. This variety is part of the fun of this Valentine candy charcuterie boards.

Notes

Amounts: The amounts of each item will depend on the size of your board and your taste preferences. Don't be afraid to grab a few extras so you have a full and bountiful Valentine's charcuterie board. Leftovers are always great!
Where to Purchase Candy: Dollar store (you can get almost all of the items on this board from here!), Target, Walmart and Trader Joe's are my favorite stores to pick up reasonably priced Valentine's Day candy options.
