Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Strawberries washed and halved
  • 1 cup Blueberries fresh
  • 1 cup Red Grapes seedless
  • 1 cup Cherries pitted
  • 8 pieces Mini Chocolate Muffins store-bought or homemade
  • 8 oz Marshmallow Fruit Dip in a small serving bowl
  • 2 cups Butter Crackers assorted
  • 1 cup Mini Pretzels salted
  • 4 oz Beef Salami sliced
  • 4 oz Beef Pepperoni sliced
  • 6 oz Cheddar Cheese sliced into squares
  • 4 oz White Cheddar Cheese cut into star shapes
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes washed
  • 8 oz Mozzarella Balls drained
  • 1 cup Savory Snack Mix Chex mix style
  • 1 cup Granola and Nut Mix sweet and salty
  • 0.5 cup Red, White, and Blue Candies M&Ms

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the cheeses by slicing the standard cheddar into squares and using a small star-shaped cookie cutter to press out star shapes from the white cheddar.
  • Place the marshmallow fruit dip in a small bowl and position it near the center of a large wooden serving tray or platter.
  • Arrange the larger items first, placing the mini chocolate muffins, beef salami, beef pepperoni, and the two types of cheese in distinct sections around the dip bowl.
  • Fill in the gaps with the fresh produce, grouping the strawberries, blueberries, red grapes, cherries, and cherry tomatoes for a vibrant pop of color.
  • Scatter the remaining dry goods, including butter crackers, mini pretzels, savory snack mix, granola and nut mix, and the mozzarella balls into any remaining empty spaces.
  • Finish the tray by sprinkling the red, white, and blue candies over the top for a festive, patriotic touch. Serve immediately or chill until ready to eat.
