Ingredients

Red Velvet Cheese Ball
9 Nilla Wafers
4 sheets Graham crackers broken into 16 crackers
10 dark chocolate pretzels
9 strawberry wafer cookies
2-3 mozzarella cheese sticks cut into rounds
7 strawberries
20 raspberries stuffed with dark chocolate chips
8 Lindor Strawberries and Cream White Chocolate Truffles
16 white chocolate pretzels
6 dark chocolate sea salt caramels
1/3 cup M&M’s Milk Chocolate Candies
16 dark chocolate almonds

Instructions

The day before your gathering, make the cheese ball. (Please visit Michaela’s blog, linked above, to get the recipe for this dessert dipper!)
The day of your gathering, put together the dessert board, building it around the cheese ball.
Place the cheese ball on your platter. Around the cheese ball, arrange the dippers (Nilla wafers, Graham crackers, dark chocolate pretzels and strawberry wafer cookies) so guests see them as options for dipping.
Place the sliced cheese sticks on the other side of the platter.
Around the cheese sticks, place the strawberries and the truffles since both are pink/red. The goal is to try to space out the colors so we see pops everywhere.
On the other side, add some dark chocolates, as well as a bowl of the M&M’s or chocolate candies. (I added these here because I liked the pop of color, but you do you!)
Fill in any holes on the board with miscellaneous chocolate candies, like the sea salt caramels and the chocolate almonds.
Serve and enjoy with friends!

Notes

Please remember: Your board doesn’t have to look perfect. Don’t let that hold you back! This is supposed to be fun, and in the end, the taste of the items are what matters, not how gorgeously arranged this board may or may not be.

You can make a Dessert Board for any time of year, not just for Valentine’s Day! Just mold your Red Velvet Cheese Ball into a circle or any other shape!
