Instructions

  1. Prepare the Nut Base

    Begin by distributing 1/2 cup of mixed nuts evenly into each charcuterie cup to create a hearty base.

  2. Add Jordan Almonds

    Place the prepared salami skewers into the cups, ensuring they are evenly spaced and visually appealing.

  5. Add Cheeses and Fruits

    Place mini brie bites, cubes of smoked gouda, and aged gouda Christmas tree shapes into each cup alongside the salami skewers. Tuck in fresh blackberries and raspberries to add pops of color and burst of freshness.

  6. Incorporate Crackers and Cookies

    Insert one Christmas tree shaped lahvosh cracker and one gingerbread man cookie into the front of each cup to add a crunchy, festive touch.
