Instructions

Prepare the Sweet Snacks

Melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth. Dip strawberries and mini marshmallows into the chocolate and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes until set.

Skewer cheese cubes, cherry tomatoes, and olives onto toothpicks. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning for added flavor. Arrange them on a serving platter.

Serve both sweet and savory snacks on a platter for a beautiful presentation.

Tips for the Perfect Presentation

Presentation is key when it comes to serving snacks on Valentine's Day. Consider using a beautiful platter or tiered stand to display your sweet and savory treats. Adding fresh herbs or edible flowers can elevate the look and feel of your table, making it more inviting and special.

You can also create themed labels for each snack to add a personal touch. This small detail not only informs your guests but adds an element of fun to the presentation.

Make It a Fun Activity

Turning snack preparation into a fun activity can enhance the Valentine's Day experience. Invite your partner or friends to join you in the kitchen to dip strawberries or skewer the savory snacks. This collaborative effort not only brings everyone together but also creates lasting memories.

Consider setting up a chocolate-dipping station with various toppings like sprinkles, nuts, or shredded coconut. This way, guests can customize their treats, adding an interactive element to your celebration.

Pairing Suggestions

To complement your snacks, consider serving a selection of drinks that enhance the flavors of both sweet and savory treats. Sparkling wine or champagne pairs beautifully with chocolate-covered strawberries, while a light red wine or a refreshing mocktail can harmonize with the savory skewers.

For a non-alcoholic option, try a fruity punch or infused water with mint and lemon. These beverages add a festive touch and keep everyone refreshed throughout your gathering.
