Valentine’s day charcuterie board

You may want to know what a Charcuterie Board [HERE] is before we go much further. A Charcuterie board is normally a tray with bite-sized meat and cheese served as an appetizer or as a meal.

A Dessert Charcuterie board is a tray with sweets and desserts! Fun, right?

First things first, you need to buy some sweets that everyone will eat. I wanted to make sure we got things that each one of us would like. My two boys have sensory issues when it comes to food, so we also had to be strategic in the way we placed food. TIP: don’t store mint sweets with other treats, or the mint flavor will mingle with other sweets. Ask me how I know.

QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE ASK

What desserts do you recommend?

Anything sweet!

Did you use fruit in your dessert charcuterie board?

I wanted our board to stay out a few days and fruit would be required to put in the refrigerator so we stuck with sweets that could be left out and just covered up with wrap.

Take a look at these Southern Biscuits if you are interested in something more savory.
