Ingredients

Salami Bites

  • 24 thin slices salami
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 12 small pitted black olives
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives

Cheese and Extras

  • 6 oz cheddar cheese sliced
  • 4 oz mozzarella balls bocconcini
  • 1 cup red grapes
  • 1 cup baby carrots

Crackers and Bread

  • 1 cup mini crackers
  • 8 slices baguette toasted

Decorative Touches

  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  • Use a bat-shaped cookie cutter to press into salami slices and cut out bat shapes. Press down firmly to get clean edges.
  • Place bat-shaped salami bites in the center of your serving board, fanned out slightly so they look like they’re flying.
  • Slice cheddar into fun shapes (optional) and place with mozzarella balls around the bats. Add crackers and toasted baguette slices in small piles nearby.
  • Scatter red grapes and baby carrots around the board to add color and variety.
  • Place dips, olives, or nuts in ramekins or small bowls and set them around the edges of the board.
  • Add sprigs of rosemary, sprinkle dried cranberries, and adjust everything to look balanced. Keep items separated for neatness and easy snacking.
  • Serve immediately or cover the board with plastic wrap until ready to serve to keep ingredients fresh.
