Charcuterie boards are HUGE right now. Make this fun and festive dessert charcuterie board version that’s perfect for kids on Valentine’s Day!
I have fallen in love with two big items that are all the rage right now: charcuterie boards and hot cocoa bombs.
The hot cocoa bombs…oh my, they’re fun and delicious! I have a Valentine’s Day variety posted already and many more coming soon!
Both of these items are fun and versatile. I have a cute Christmas charcuterie board that’s a lot of fun. And while it has some sweets and goodies on there, it also has nuts, meats, and chips and guac.
I love this concept because it makes a great family movie night snack tray, easy dinner option, or appetizer for a get-together.

Most of the time when you hear about charcuterie boards, it’s a mix of meats and cheeses with some fruits, nuts, and/or crackers.
But until now, I never thought to make a dessert charcuterie board! But why not? It’s really a perfect idea for a fun holiday tray!
And it’s genius for a fun kids-themed Valentine’s Day charcuterie board.
