Valentine's Day Dessert Board
If "never too much" dessert is part of your vocabulary, then this all ages board is definitely for you. Offer a variety of something-for-everybody goodies while getting creative with the product arrangement.
For this dessert board, the stars are: 1) Raspberry Jam Baked Brie Cheese served with apples and crackers 2) Red Velvet Cake Balls 3) Raspberry Mojito Mocktails. Marcona almonds and salami round out the savories. Heart-shaped chocolates, chocolate dipped strawberries, chocolate covered pretzels, raspberries and heart shaped gummies make up the remaining sweets.
