Instructions
- Wrap the Styrofoam cone tightly with saran wrap.
- Using your star shaped cookie cutter, cut out stars (one for the top of the tree and smaller ones for throughout the tree)
- Place once on a serving platter or plate.
- Starting from the bottom and working your way up to the top, make a spiral pattern of each item (may need to repeat some twice) in rows and secure with toothpicks.
- Once covered add the larger star on top. Place sprigs of rosemary and mini cheese stars throughout the tree on any open spaces.
- Add an assorted of crackers around the charcuterie tree and serve.
Notes
Note: Don't be like me and try to hide the toothpicks. Just stick the toothpicks into the food and cone and allow them to stick out for easy grab and go.
