Easy Christmas Cheese Trees
This appetizer is a no-fuss, no-mess recipe and transports well, too! The best part is you don’t have to dirty a mixing bowl or turn on the oven. These cute little trees can be modified in many different ways, but the bottom line is they are quick and delicious! Perfect little festive finger bites 😉
INGREDIENTS FOR THESE Easy Christmas Cheese Trees
- laughing cow cheese
- pretzel sticks
- crushed red pepper flakes
- dried rosemary
- Mike’s Hot Honey
Instructions for how to make Easy Christmas Cheese Trees
STEP ONE // Unpackage cheese triangles and set on a serving platter.
STEP TWO // Insert a pretzel stick into the base of the triangle [*use half a pretzel stick for a more tree-like appearance]
STEP THREE // Drizzle hot honey across each tree.
STEP FOUR // Finish off with a sprinkle of crushed red pepper and dried rosemary.
STEP FIVE // Serve and enjoy!
The perfect little pick-up-and-eat holiday snack! I’ve seen people use brie cheese, chopped pecans, paprika, dill, etc. I opted for 2 simple ones!
The hot honey just adds a touch of heat and gives the herbs and spices something to stick to!
I definitely want to try these cute little Christmas Cheese Trees again. Maybe switch up the toppings and see what I like best! I would also use half of a pretzel stick instead of the full one. I still think my trees are cute though!!
