A Valentine’s Day Sweet Treat Charcuterie Board + A Quick Styling Tip
Who doesn’t love a pretty board filled with delicious things? I sure do! …
These beauties are all over social media and have maintained a position on the party “must-make” list for over five years now. I would say they are here to stay...
I make them for holidays, celebrations, binge watch weekends, and even toss them together quickly for drop-in guests with mix and match things from our refrigerator and cabinets. They are always a win.
When I make these, I often get the same question just before a participant digs in. It goes something like this…
“Gwyn, How in the world do you put so many things in a pile on a piece of wood and make it pretty and enticing at the same time?” -Genevive
Answer:
I have one no fail tip and will work on any type of board you choose for any occasion.
Today I am sharing my easy tip with YOU using all kinds of fun Valentine’s Day sweet treats. Scroll on down and let’s have some fun!

Pull It All Together
1. Wash and dry your the surface of the board and wash your hands.
2. Gather and prep all of the ingredients for your board.
3. Now for my major “uno spark-tacular tip I have been referring to.
It is all about the odd numbers three or one. Today I am working mainly with the three. Let me show you…
Pick an any item and place it in three random places on your board.
4. Move on to the next item. Below I used three small piles of Valentine’s Candy Corn.
5. Three spots! It doesn’t matter how many of the item/s that are in one of the three spots for each item.
Keep going!
Voilà!
