Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (60% cacao)
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 0.5 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1 package pink-stuffed chocolate sandwich cookies
  • 12 pink French macarons
  • 1 cup pink white-chocolate-covered pretzels
  • 0.5 cup red and pink gummy hearts
  • 1 box buttery shortbread fingers
  • 1 cup large marshmallows
  • 1 bunch fresh mint leaves

Instructions:

  1. Prep the berries. Wash the 1 lb fresh strawberries and 1 cup fresh raspberries, then pat them with a lint free towel until completely bone dry.
  2. Place two small ramekins on the board — one for the 1 cup dark chocolate chips and one for the 0.5 cup pomegranate seeds.
  3. Arrange the strawberries in a winding path from one corner of the board to the other (S Curve).
  4. Tuck the 1 package pink stuffed chocolate sandwich cookies along the edges of the strawberry curve until they form a solid wall.
  5. Place the 12 pink French macarons in small clusters of three around the board.
  6. Fill the larger open spaces with 1 cup pink white chocolate-covered pretzels, letting them overlap slightly.
  7. Lean the 1 box buttery shortbread fingers against the ramekins or the cookie walls to create diagonal lines and height.
  8. Drop the 0.5 cup red and pink gummy hearts into the tiny cracks between the larger items.
  9. Use the 1 cup large marshmallows to 'plug' any visible wood or marble on the board.
  10. Tuck 1 bunch fresh mint leaves under the strawberries and raspberries until the green pops against the red.
