Instructions
See blog post for images on assembling steps, if needed.
- For the base layer, in each cup add just enough of the trail mix to cover the bottom. Then add 4 of the small cheese crackers. Next, add one long flatbread cracker, one cheese stick, and one long crunch breadstick (using the trail mix to anchor them.)
- Using a knife and cutting board, cut the Genoa/Mozarella roll-ups into 4 pieces. Grab a wooden skewer and add in this order, ¼ of the Genoa/Mozarell roll, one grape tomato, and 1 marinated mozzarella ball to the skewer. Repeat for the other 11 skewers and one to each of the cups.
- For the next skewer, add a small strawberry with leaves intact, a blackberry, and a green grape. Place in cup and repeat for 11 more skewers.
- For the third and final skewer: add a Gherkin pickle, 2 pepperoni slices, each folded in half twice and then stacked (so they appear to look fanned out), and 1 cheddar cheese cube. Place in cup and repeat for the other 11 skewers.
- Finish the mini charcuterie cups by filling in the gaps with a couple of blackberries, cheddar cheese slices/cubes, and a couple of Cheez-Its if needed. Serve and enjoy!
