# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You can assemble these in under fifteen minutes, leaving you more time to actually enjoy your own party
  • The sweet and creamy combination works magic on everyone from picky toddlers to skeptical adults
  • They look incredibly impressive yet require absolutely zero cooking skills
02 -
  • Cube your cheese while it's cold from the refrigerator for cleaner cuts, but let the finished kabobs sit at room temperature for fifteen minutes before serving
  • If you're making these more than two hours ahead, brush the cut surfaces of apples and pears with lemon juice to prevent browning
  • Soften cheese cubes can slide around on skewers, so thread them carefully and handle gently when transferring to your serving platter
03 -
  • Buy an extra half pound of cheese—inevitably some cubes will crumble or you'll want to taste test as you go
  • If serving outdoors, cover the platter with a clean, slightly damp cloth to keep the fruit fresh and insects away
