Get Your Gals Together For This Oh-So-Sweet Candy Charcuterie Board

Brit + Co's Valentine's Day Candy Charcuterie Board

(Serves at least 10)

Recipe Notes: You can use any combination of candy, cookies, and chocolate you like. Just be sure to use a variety of textures and flavors, such as crunchy cookies, sour gummies, fluffy marshmallows, and gooey chocolate truffles. If you want to stick to a pastel color scheme, look for all things white chocolate and candy-coated.

Suggested Ingredients:

• See's Candies Celebration Hearts ($9), Dark Chocolate Hearts ($9), Marshmallow Hearts ($24), and Deep Dark Chocolate Truffles ($10)
• Red Hots Original Cinnamon Candies ($1)
• Reese's Valentine's White Creme Peanut Butter Hearts ($5)
• Peeps Milk Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Delights Chicks ($10)
• Valentine's Day Milk Chocolate Candy Cupid's MnM's($5)
• Pepperidge Farm Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies ($4)
• Hostess Donettes Powdered Mini Donuts ($4) and White Fudge Ding Dongs ($14)
• Large chocolate bar, such as Hershey's Symphony ($3)
• White chocolate truffles, such as those in Trader Joe's 12 Tantalizing Truffles ($5)
• Fresh strawberries, some plain and some covered in white chocolate and pink sprinkles (or our Champagne soaked chocolate strawberries)
• Yogurt-covered pretzels
• Red sour belt
• Vanilla-, strawberry-, or raspberry-flavored creme-filled sandwich cookies
• Pastel-colored mini marshmallows
• Chocolate-covered cherry donuts
• Flowers and confetti, for decoration

Directions:

1. Arrange the board from the center outward. It helps to place the larger, plainly colored foods, such as cookies and donuts, first.

2. Next, fill in the spaces and edges with smaller, more colorful items like M&M's and Mike and Ike candies, scattering a few on the table for a waterfall effect.

3. Place flowers, confetti, and other decorations around the board, and serve immediately.
