Ingredients:

  • 12 Dark Chocolate Truffles (60%+ cocoa)
  • 2 Bars Ruby Chocolate
  • 1.5 Cups Milk Chocolate Pretzels
  • 0.5 Cup White Chocolate Ganache
  • 1 Pint Long stem Strawberries
  • 6 oz Raspberries
  • 0.25 cup Pomegranate Arils
  • 8 Pink Macarons
  • 1 cup Red Velvet Mini Cookies
  • 10 Shortbread Triangles

Instructions:

  1. Place the 0.5 cup white chocolate ganache in a small bowl slightly off center on the board. Note: This is your anchor point.
  2. Arrange the 12 dark chocolate truffles in two separate groups to draw the eye across the board.
  3. Fan the 1 pint of strawberries around the ganache bowl until the red creates a vibrant ring.
  4. Place the 10 shortbread triangles in a river formation, leading from one corner to the center.
  5. Fill the larger gaps with the 1.5 cups of milk chocolate pretzels until no board surface is visible.
  6. Tuck the 8 pink macarons into small crevices, using them as pops of bright color.
  7. Break the 2 ruby bars into large shards and stand them upright in the ganache or between cookies for height.
  8. Drop the 6 oz of raspberries into any remaining small holes.
  9. Sprinkle the 0.25 cup pomegranate arils over the entire board until it looks like scattered jewels.
  10. Finish by placing the 1 cup of red velvet mini cookies near the dark truffles for color coordination.
