Valentine's Day Snack Board
If you know me, you know that our family LOVES snack boards for dinner once a week. Specifically, we do our snack boards on Sunday nights. It’s the perfect no-cook easy meal on a day of rest like Sunday where I personally just want a break from cooking and all the housework that consumes the rest of the week.
Valentine’s has always been one of my favorite holidays. There is something so sweet about making the people you love feel special and seen. It’s such a great opportunity to extend hospitality to those who might be more lonely in their current season and to reach out to neighbors with a fun treat.
This year Valentine’s landed on a Sunday so guess what we made? A Valentine’s themed snack board! I think this would be so fun to continue on into future years though, no matter what day of the week Valentine’s lands on! It’s just a nice way to make the day cute and special, especially for little ones!
My snack board included:
I used the liquid from steaming the beets to color marshmallows pink, then cut them into hearts with a cookie cutter. I love the marshmallow recipe in the cookbook Celebrations
heart peanut butter sandwiches
homemade chocolate and peanut butter hearts (made in a silicone candy mold)
buffalo chicken dip, chips, popcorn
Yum Earth heart fruit snacks
strawberries
salami
GF almond seed crackers
Other ideas for what to include:
freeze dried strawberries
red bell peppers
baby tomatoes
raspberries
beet chips
red or purple grapes
watermelon radish
cheese cut into hearts
apple slices
grapefruit or blood orange
prosciutto
I’ve gone ahead and collected a few other Valentine’s themed snack boards so you can have lots of inspiration! If you make one, please tag me on instagram so I can see and get excited with you!
