Place crackers and cheese accompaniments around the cheeses.
Place fondue dippables around the chocolate.
Add fruit and chocolate-covered strawberries.
Fill in the gaps with candies and other treats.
Garnish with candies and small seasonal items.

Notes
Milton crackers are great on cheese boards because they come in so many varieties and flavors.
You can customize this recipe based on dietary restrictions by adding or removing things accordingly. You can use gluten-free crackers or add meat for those who can't have dairy.
Don't skip the whole grain mustard! It is perfect paired with a bit of cheese and some jam on a cracker.
Find heart-shaped bowls and treats as well as treats that are traditional Valentine's colors (like reds and pinks) to make everything feel more festive.
