There are a few key foods that are simply a must, such as fruits, cheese and chocolate! However, even though we want a delicate assortment of finger foods to set off the mood, we know that your sweetheart will most likely be hungry, so we can’t stick to fruits and chocolate only.
To make a complete picnic basket, try these:
- Appetizers: You can make some quick appetizers such as melon wrapped in prosciutto. Get some sushi made with salmon which will taste great with champagne.
- Cheese & Bread: Brie, Gouda, Blue Cheese, Edam are good choices. Pair them with crackers and an assortment of tiny breads you can probably find at the baker’s.
- Fruits: Strawberries either dipped in chocolate, dusted with confectioner’s sugar or just plain are the perfect fruit to pair with champagne. Try to find ones that are ripe and sweet. You can also add grapes, and other finger fruits such as dried apricots and prunes to make a small fruit platter.
- Chocolates: Dark chocolate and truffles hold well in high temperatures. We think the taste of dark chocolate is a great pairing with champagne.
