Ingredients

For the Meats

6 slices Hard Italian Salami Provides a rich, savory flavor; substitute with prosciutto for a different taste.
6 slices Salame di Parma Adds a mild, delicate flavor; use regular salami for a stronger taste.

For the Cheeses

6 pieces Mini Brie Bites Creamy texture that pairs well with the meats; substitute with soft goat cheese if desired.
6 pieces Havarti Cheese Smooth and mild; cut into heart shapes for visual appeal, or use cheddar as a firmer alternative.

For the Add-Ins

1/2 cup Mixed Nuts Adds crunch and flavor variety; opt for a nut mix, but avoid if guests have nut allergies.
1/2 cup Jordan Almonds Sweet twist with added color; replace with chocolate-covered almonds for a different flair.
1 cup Berries (Blackberries, Raspberries, Blueberries) Brings freshness and acidity; swap for other seasonal fruits as desired.
6 pieces Heart Shaped Crackers Provide a fun, crunchy aesthetic; use plain crackers if fancy ones aren’t available.

For the Sweet Touches

6 pieces Heart Macarons A delightful finishing treat; substitute with heart-shaped cookies if needed.
1 cup Heart Shaped Candy Decorative filler for visual appeal; use any small, colorful candy for a festive look.

For the Garnish

6 springs Rosemary Springs Adds a fragrant herbal note; omit if not preferred, or use another herb like thyme.

Method

Preparation

Begin by placing 1/2 cup of mixed nuts at the bottom of six individual paper cups, ensuring an even distribution.
Next, divide the Jordan almonds among the cups, scattering them atop the nuts to create a colorful base.
Lay out three slices of salami and gently overlap them, creating a lovely pattern. Roll the slices tightly into spirals.
Carefully insert the salami skewers into the center of each prepared cup.
Include one mini Brie bite and a heart-shaped piece of Havarti cheese in each cup.
Complement the cheeses with heart-shaped crackers, tucking them beside the cheese.
Place a heart macaron at the front of each assembly and sprinkle some heart-shaped candy around the cup edges.
