It’s kind of like a caprese salad appetizer, but on a stick. We love them, and the kids might just eat them too! Check out this adorable seasonal recipe from Artscrackers.com.
Ingredients:
- Toothpicks (slightly longer appetizer toothpicks work well, but regular size can work)
- Mozzarella string cheese
- Fresh basil leaves
- Grape tomatoes (try using the multi-color packs of tomatoes!)
- Black and orange edible ink markers (or food dye)
Method:
1. Slice the string cheese into pieces.Make a head and a body then cut the extra piece into four and use these later for the hat.
2. Begin assembling the string cheese snowman Caprese salad appetizers. Start with the larger piece of string cheese. Stick the toothpick slightly into the string cheese. Do not push it in too far or you will not have enough space at the top for the toothpick to stick out for guests to grab.
3. Add a basil leaf scarf.Â
4. Slide the smaller string cheese pieces onto the toothpick as the head. Get it close to the basil and the base piece so there isn’t a big gap and make sure to leave room for the hat at the top.
5. Cut the grape tomatoes in half the short way to make a hat and add the face.
