DIY Holiday Charcuterie Boards

The holidays are here, and that means food, family, and fun! There are so many fun and cute ideas, but I never seem to have time to make them. However, this super easy, cute appetizer is fun for everyone! The best part is that you can customize it to the holiday. This is a turkey, but I plan on making another one for Christmas in the shape of a tree! All you need is cheese, pepperoni, grapes, crackers, and a pear (for this one), but the possibilities are endless!

Ingredients:

• Mild Cheddar Cheese
• Pepper Jack Cheese
• Pepperoni
• Green Seedless Grapes
• 1 Pear
• 2 Carrots
• Crackers

Directions:

• Halve the pear and place it in the lower center of your board.
• Cut 2 baby carrots into feet and add to the pear “body”.
• Cube the pepper jack cheese and place them around your pear “body”.
• Clean the grapes and place them around the pepper jack cheese.
• Add the individual slices of pepperoni around the grapes.
• Cut the mild cheddar into thin squares and layer around the pepperoni.
• Serve your “turkey” & enjoy!

Tips:

• This takes about 30 minutes to create.
• Have a variety of crackers available nearby or on your board.
• My family prefers mild cheddar and pepper jack cheese, but feel free to use whatever other cheeses or finger foods for your guests.
