Ingredients

  • 12 oz Mozzarella Pearls
  • 15 Pretzel Sticks
  • 8 oz Colby Jack Cheese cut into cubes
  • 12 oz Sharp White Cheddar Cheese cut into cubes
  • 12 oz Salami sliced
  • 12 oz Blueberries
  • 15 oz Can Pitted Black Olives
  • 12 oz Mini Pepperoni Slices
  • 1 Cup White Chocolate Chips
  • 6 York Star Shaped Peppermint Patties
  • 8 Slices Pepper Jack Cheese
  • 6 Sprigs Fresh Rosemary
  • 1 Cup Red and Green Peanut M&M's

Instructions

  • Find a board big enough to assemble a charcuterie board, or a large chopping board (about 15" x 22") and give it a good wipe down ready to house food.
  • Line up the Mozzarella pearls along the bottom to represent snow.
  • Next place the pretzel sticks pointed upward for the Christmas tree trunk.
  • If your cheese is not already done so cut up into cubes.
  • Make your first row of cheese cubes along the bottom of the tree.
  • Next the pepperoni slices.
  • Then blueberries.
  • Repeat with the other ingredients.
  • For the salami slices fold in half, then half again, then roll up to create a kind of rose bud. Hold together with tooth picks. I could hold three salami pieces on 1 tooth pick like this.
  • Top the tree with a star cut out from sliced cheese using a star shaped cookie cutter.
  • Arrange the rosemary as tufts sticking out from the tree.
  • Evenly place the M&M's all around three tree as decoration.
  • Cut some more stars from the cheese, as well as place the peppermint patties on the outside, for stars.

Notes

Use your favorite cheeses, cold cuts and decorations. Making one of these boards is so versatile.
