When it comes to charcuterie boards over the past year, we’ve seen it all. Breakfast boards, charcuterie chalets, jarcuterie, hot cocoa boards, sundae boards—if there’s a food, it’s probably made it’s way to charcuterie boards. And now that the winter holidays are over, we’re seeing people trade in their wreath-shaped boards for heart-shaped ones for Valentine’s Day.
These boards are super romantic and they’re perfect for breakfast in bed—if you have a sweet tooth. They include cookies, cupcakes, and of course the most popular Valentine’s Day candies in America. While not all boards are heart-shaped, they have one thing in common—they’re red, pink, and white.
These boards are taking over Instagram under #candyboard with over 6,700 posts, and our favorites include ice cream, candy, fruit, and strawberry frosted cupcakes. Some of them even include salty treats like popcorn and pretzels. Who doesn’t love a sweet and salty combination?
Candy boards are perfect for grazing with your partner or roommates and they bring a bit of joy to Valentine’s Day this year which will be different than other years due to restrictions about eating out at restaurants. All you need to get started with these boards is a board, some red and pink candy, fruit, cupcakes, ice cream, and heart-shaped treats. You really can include whatever treats you have in your house.
