Valentine’s Day Dessert Board

This recipe was contributed to The Local Moms Network by food contributor, CatwithaK Cooks.

INGREDIENTS:

12 vanilla meringues
2-3 cups yogurt covered pretzels
2-3 cups popcorn
1-2 cups vanilla wafers
2 cups mini marshmallows
1⁄2 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup red licorice
1-2 cups mixed berries (raspberries, strawberries, blackberries) For garnish – roses, flowers, or fresh mint

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Arrange the meringues in a “lazy snake” diagonally across the long side of the board.
2. Fill in the rest of the space with loose piles of the ingredients, balancing out the weight visually as you go.
3. Don’t be afraid to pile the sections high, or have it look a bit messy. It adds to the fun. Enjoy!
