VALENTINE’S DAY CHOCOLATE DIPPED PRETZEL STICKS
I can’t believe we are already in February this year! It’s funny seeing all the memes online about January being the longest month ever when I always feel like it flies by. I’m not sure if this is because I am in the event’s industry and people tend to panic when the new year rolls around and realize they need to BOOK.EVERYTHING.EVERWHERE! For myself, the month can be super busy and tends to rush by! I will admit it is not my favourite month since Christmas is over and no new holidays are around to look forward to – I may be a holiday junkie and I don’t shy away from it!
February brings us an aura of pink and red that we can look forward to and just an overall love feeling for Valentine’s Day. Although we do not go over the top for Valentine’s Day, I still love seeing the heart decorations around and just the overall aspect of a fun holiday in the month. Also knowing Valentine’s Day is coming brings along thoughts of Spring and Easter which is also exciting.
Last year I put together a fun Valentine’s Day themed tablescape with the most adorable paper plates and cups (doesn’t always have to be fancy china!) but this year I wanted to make a fun treat you can give to your friends and family this season!
NUTELLA CAKE POPS
Have you heard of the saying “You can’t please everyone, you are not Nutella!” –
I am exaggerating (if ever so slightly) but my love for Nutella does run strong – I usually only allow myself to have it in the house once or twice a year otherwise I will eat the whole jar and nobody needs that! As tomorrow is the ever so exciting New Year’s Eve and if you are still looking for a last minute dessert this recipe below is quite easy to put together. And you can match it to any colour theme you have going on!
ENTERTAINING WITH CHARCUTERIE BOARDS: DESSERT EDITION
Entertaining with charcuterie boards is one of my absolute favourite go-to tips when planning a party or gathering. They are very easy to put together because essentially anything can be used if you are sticking to similar flavours and items. I have seen some amazingly epic ones like this one from What’s Gaby Cooking and this one from How Sweet Eats if you are needing some fun inspiration. Today I want to go in a slightly different direction and talk about a type of charcuterie board that often gets overlooked, and that is the dessert charcuterie board! Can you imagine a full board filled with your favourite dessert items ever? Sounds like heaven to me!
My goal here at JMS is to share different companies and ideas from around the web for you to gather inspiration from and I am so excited to introduce you to Shari’s Berries and help showcase how they have put their own twist on dessert charcuterie boards.
Down below I have broken up the three main categories that you can take your dessert charcuterie boards in and each of them is filled with yummy goodness – I promise!
FRUIT LOVER
A large platter of fruits makes the perfect dessert especially if you are trying to keep things on the lighter side after a large meal! Depending on the season, the type of fruits can change drastically (summer = tropical and fall = harvest) and can completely change the theme of the charcuterie board, which is pretty neat. Also going with fresh fruit versus dried is a great way to change things up. The variations are endless and really provide a brand new dessert board each time for entertaining. Pairing fruit with some cheese, crackers and chocolate dipping sauce (my fav!) rounds out the board for a fun dessert option.
