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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
