diy - valentine's day dessert board

It’s that time of year again! Whether you’re celebrating a festive Galentine’s with your girlfriends, a romantic day with your significant other, or a fun Valentine’s day with your kiddos, I’ve got fun recipes that work for any occasion!

Dessert Board

Much like a traditional charcuterie board, a dessert board can really be made of whatever you like! For this specific board, I’ve swapped out meats and cheeses for Valentine’s themed candies and cookies.

Here’s exactly what I used:

  • Strawberry and Yogurt Chex Mix

  • Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Crisps

  • White Chocolate Ghirardelli Hearts 

  • Strawberry Twizzlers

  • Russel Stover Peanut Butter Hearts

  • Milano Rasberry Chocolate Cookies

  • Creative Snacks Co. Strawberry Covered Pretzels

  • Lotus Biscoff Cookies

  • Fresh Raspberries

  • Fresh Strawberries

  • Hy-Vee’s White Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Valentine’s Day Themed Mocktails

Why? Because kids like fancy drinks too! 

Strawberry Ice Cream Float
Similar to a traditional “coke-float”, but with a Valentine’s Day twist!

Here’s what I used:

  • Breyer’s Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream

  • Strawberry Twizzlers

  • Sunkist Strawberry Soda

  • Red Sprinkles

  • Redi-Whip

Rose and Raspberry Sherbet Mocktail

The fun thing about this drink? It can be both an adult beverage or kid-friendly! I used a non-alcoholic rose, but you could easily sub-in champagne or a true rose. 

Here’s what I used:

  • Welch’s Sparkling Rose

  • Kemp’s Rasberry Sherbet

  • Fresh Raspberries

Want to know what else I love about all of this?? All of these items came from Hy-Vee. Easy as that. I love a quick and painless grocery trip.

Another cool thing? You can also order from Hy-Vee Aisles Online for a 2-hour pickup order - can it get any easier?) Click here to check out their hassle-free shopping for yourself!
