How to Make A Valentine Snack Board
Start by making your heart shape in the center with your candies. Then you will create bunches of desserts all around it. White, pinks and other neutral colors around the heart will help define the red look of your heart. Or swap the heart with pink or another color.
Then just fill up the whole board with all your different kinds of snacks. If you add in a dip place in a bowl, or if you do choose nuts and seeds those items can go in smaller bowls placed randomly on the board as well.

Can I Make This Snack Board In Advance
So essentially, you can make this snack board in advance. But if you are using perishable items like fruit and such, then you might wait to add that to the tray till you are about to serve. That way the fruit doesn’t get soggy.
Then all the other areas you can assemble and leave spaces for the fruit, and then cover and store your tray on the counter if there is no perishable items.
Here are some homemade desserts to add to your Valentine’s Day Dessert Board
- Red Velvet Truffles
