Red, White and Blue Snack Board

This red, white and blue snack plate/charcuterie board is what you'll want to bring to your next Memorial Day or Fourth of July party. It features homemade pigs in a blanket using Chomps, yogurt covered pretzels, your favorite cheeses sliced into star shapes, watermelon (a summer staple), and Original Beef and Sea Salt Beef Chomps for a pop of color (and a punch of protein). Enjoy this with loved ones all summer long!

Ingredients:

• 1 large watermelon, sliced in 4 wedges and then sliced into chunks
• 2 cups of strawberries
• 1 cup of blueberries
• 1 handful of red grapes
• 1 package of white cheddar slices, cut into stars
• 3-4 Original Beef Chomps sticks
• 3-4 Sea Salt Beef Chomps sticks
• 1 package of prosciutto
• 1 cup of yogurt covered pretzels
• 1/3 cup truffle marcona almonds (Trader Joe's has a rosemary one that is phenomenal!)
• 1 wedge of brie
• 1 cup of gluten-free crackers
• 8-10 "pigs in a blanket" made with Chomps
• Everything but the bagel seasoning
• 1 can store-bought crescent roll dough
• 2 tbsp butter, 1 minced garlic clove (melted and combined)

Directions:

1. Begin by covering the board with all of the fruit, prosciutto, nuts, cheddar slices and then arrange a few Chomps sticks with the wrappers on to have a pop of red and blue and then add the rest (sliced into pieces) into small bowls.
   
   
2. Make the pigs in a blanket: chop up the Chomps sticks into 3rds and then take the crescent roll dough and wrap it around each Chomp. Next, add the garlic butter with a brush onto each crescent roll and add some everything but the bagel seasoning. Bake in the oven until golden brown – 400º for about 15-30. Let cool for about 5-10 minutes.
   
   
3. Place the pigs in a blanket on the end of the charcuterie board.
   
   
4. Next cut watermelon into wedges and from there, cut chunks out in the shape of stars to place onto the board for a festive twist.
   
   
5. If you're bringing this to a party - prepare your pigs in a blanket and add into a tupperware, then add all of your fruit into one tupperware, nuts and cheese in another and bring along a long board to wherever you're headed so you can prepare it at your party, day of. Enjoy!
