- Heart-shaped crackers: Use a cookie cutter to cut heart shapes out of the tortillas. Place the tortilla hearts in a bowl, drizzle with a little olive oil, and add any seasonings you like (see notes). Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, until golden and crispy.Flour tortillas, Drizzle of olive oil, A pinch of salt

- Assemble: Start with the largest items: the brie cheese, salami rosettes, and (if you're using) a heart-shaped bowl for the berries. Add the medium-sized items next: other cheeses, crackers, and meats. Fill in all the gaps with nuts, chocolates, and popcorn.

Notes
Seasoning for crackers: A pinch of salt is all you need to make tasty crackers, but it's easy and fun to flavor them. Popcorn seasoning works great. In the photos, the small crackers are seasoned with white cheddar popcorn seasoning, while the large ones are seasoned with ranch seasoning.
