Valentine’s Day Snack Board For Two
Create a date night snack board – ideal for two people – without spending a lot of money. This snack board is ideal for Valentine’s Day.
There’s a snack board for every occasion.
Including Valentine’s Day!
This snack board (or grazing board) is perfectly suited for Valentine’s Day, featuring a variety of red and pink-hued eats.
It’s also perfectly suited for two people – but can easily be modified to feed more.
And most importantly: This is a cheap Valentine’s Day idea that anyone can make!
Snack Board Essentials
There are many, many options for creating a Valentine’s Day snack board. But there are two things you’ll want to keep in mind to make a great board:
- Include both savory and sweet treats
- Include red and pink foods
Pick a pretty tray or appetizer platter and you’re ready to go.
What Goes On A Valentine’s Snack Board?
Here’s what I included on mine:
- Beet crackers: Beet crackers are beautifully red-hued and quite neutral in flavor. I purchased mine at Trader Joe’s but they are available in most grocery stores.
- Spanish chorizo: While any type of sausage/salami will work, I like the color (and flavor!) of Spanish chorizo for this particular snack board.
- Cheese: Pink cheese for Valentine’s Day may be hard to find, but to keep the theme going look for a cheese that contains cranberries, or even a cheese with a red wax coating. (I included smoked gouda on my board.)
- Strawberries or other red fruit: Strawberries are synonymous with Valentine’s Day – consider including chocolate-covered strawberries. Otherwise, consider including cherries, raspberries or pomegranate arils.
- Candied popcorn: I found a festive bag of red, pink, and white popcorn at Home Goods. You can also make your own colored popcorn.
- Heart-shaped foods: You can find heart-shaped chocolates, candies, gummies and other foods in the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day.
- Other red and pink foods: Beet hummus, radishes, red bell pepper slices, dragon fruit slices, red jam, pink macarons, and colored candy are all good options.
- Drinks: Red or white wine or a pink or red cocktail are good alcoholic options. Non-alcoholic options include sparkling grape juice, kombucha, fruit juice or sparkling water.
