- 6 celery sticks, cut in half
- 6 carrot sticks, cut in half

Instructions
- Start with the Base
Fill the bottom of each cup with a handful of chopped melon or grapes. This helps anchor the skewers and adds sweetness. - Build the Skewers
Thread items onto long toothpicks in this order (or mix it up!):- Cheese cubes
- Grapes or melon
- Folded deli meat
- Tomato and mozzarella ball combos
- Assemble the Cups
Insert 2–3 skewers into each cup, nestling them into the fruit base. Add extra grapes or melon for balance. - Add the Crunch
Tuck in half a celery stick, a carrot stick, and a crostini or breadstick for added texture. - Serve & Enjoy
Pass them around the campfire! When the snacks are gone, guests can use their skewers to pick out the fruit at the bottom.
TIP: Get creative! Try olives, pickles, prosciutto, or even a mini chocolate for dessert.
