Ingredients

Scale

Appetizer Base

  • 2 cups chocolate covered pretzels
  • 20 crackers
  • 0.25 lbs prosciutto
  • 1/2 cup grapes
  • 1/2 cup strawberries
  • 8 oz summer sausage
  • 8 oz cheddar cheese
  • 1 bread bowl
  • 12 oz brie
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • graham crackers

Creamy Dip

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup whipped cream
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce


Instructions

  1. Assemble Easy Creamy Prosciutto Cracker Appetizer: Lay out the crackers on a serving tray and top each with a slice of prosciutto. This simple finger food combines the crispness of the crackers with the savory, delicate flavor of prosciutto.
  2. Assemble Creamy Peppermint Dip: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, whipped cream, Greek yogurt, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and fluffy. Stir in chocolate chips for a sweet peppermint-flavored dip perfect for pretzels and graham crackers.
  3. Assemble Pull Apart Cranberry Brie Bread Bowl: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the bread bowl into a pull-apart pattern without cutting all the way through. Insert chunks of brie cheese between the slices, dot with butter, and spoon cranberry sauce over the top. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Put together Grinch Hats: Use chocolate covered pretzels as the base, top with halved strawberries pointing upwards like hats, and finish with a small dollop of whipped cream on top to resemble the hat’s pom-pom. Arrange these festive treats on the board.
  5. Place items on your snack board and enjoy! Arrange all the assembled appetizers, dips, fruits, cheeses, and meats on a large platter or wooden board. Garnish with grapes, extra crackers, and complementary snacks for a colorful and inviting holiday display.

Notes

  • For best flavor, allow the creamy dip to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Use fresh strawberries and grapes to keep the board vibrant and fresh.
  • The bread bowl should be sturdy enough to hold fillings but soft enough to pull apart easily.
  • Substitute cream cheese with a plant-based version to make the dip vegetarian or vegan friendly.
  • The recipe is great for around 12 servings, perfect for parties and gatherings.
