With Valentine’s Day coming up soon, I wanted to have a gift idea for you all. Whether you are making this for a group or just one person, it is something fun and thoughtful you could give someone who loves sweets.
I made about eight different recipes for this “gift”, but you can always do more or less. Some were easy like chocolate covered strawberries and bananas, but there are also some that take a little more work. Links for all the recipes I used will be linked!
I wanted something that gave off charcuterie vibes and I think I nailed it. If you want to do it smaller scale you could totally do that as well. I used a platter and filled it with different goodies, but it would be easy to put it in a basket or something as well. I really liked all the recipes I tried. I took a bunch of stuff up to my church to try and they devoured it too.
First I went ahead and made everything so it would all be set and ready to assemble on the tray. Once that was done I arranged it on the tray. You may have to move things around a bit but that’s totally okay! I used a little metal bucket for the trail mix but you could always use something else. This would be great for a party too. You could always add some candies or other snacks on there, I just chose to have it all homemade.
Here are the recipes for all the things I made:

Hope you enjoyed this gift idea! Are you doing anything for Valentine’s Day? I don’t have any plans right now, but who knows what’ll happen! Something like this would be perfect for a night in or Galentine’s Day as well. Until next time.
