By now you know I love to put together fun and creative food and desserts for parties and holidays. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner I made a dessert board that would be a great addition to your Galentine/Valentine’s Day parties!
All of the cookies were super easy to make and I added some of the kids favorite candy too! This is your chance to be creative and design a fun platter of your own!
**The XoXo gummies are from Trader Joes and the heart gummies are Valentine’s Day Sour Patch Kids
**I also used the leftover vanilla chocolate to make chocolate covered pretzels
