    This Valentine's Day Charcuterie Board is the best Galentines Charcuterie Board! We filled this Valentine's Day Charcuterie with a combination of sweet and savory snacks, so you get the best of both worlds.

    Besides, I feel better eating delicious foods (like that entire donut) when the first things I've eaten are some fruit!

    This Valentine's Day Charcuterie Board is a wonderful combination between a dessert charcuterie board and the cheese boards we are used to when we think of a great charcuterie board.

    And is it even a Valentine's Day Dessert Board without conversion hearts, Valentine M&Ms and food items that our best friends love? Probably not!

    Ingredients needed to Create this Valentine's Day Charcuterie Board

    We are going to work on our Valentine's Day Charcuterie Board in stages, because we are using such a wide array of things!

    I feel like a good charcuterie board (or any holiday themed boards) needs to start with fine artisan meats, maybe a salami rose, white chocolate, slices of cheese, your typical cracker choice and a few empty spaces to fill in with sweet treats.

    a variety of cheese slices and salami and berries
    • fresh strawberries
    • fresh raspberries
    • sliced cheese (I used white cheddar slices of cheese)
    • sliced salami to make the salami rose
    • buttery club crackers - I use these Happy Belly Country Club Crackers
    selection of sweet treats for galentines day
    • Chocolate covered Valentine donuts
    • Mini valentine cupcakes
    • Delicious treats like chocolate truffles
    • Conversation heart candies - You can get these on Amazon really cheap, just click the link!

    Top tip

    Please note: I do not recommend adding the crackers to the Valentine's Day Charcuterie Board until you are ready to serve it. The moisture from the other ingredients will soften and make the crackers stale. If you don't plan to serve this immediately, wait to add the crackers until you are ready to serve. You can always place them onto the board to make sure they fit and remove them.
