Bring some holiday cheer to snack time with this festive Santa Berry Snack Board, made with colorful California Giant berries, popcorn, pretzels, and cheese. Fun to assemble and even more fun to eat, this jolly centerpiece is perfect for holiday parties, family gatherings, and festive celebrations.

INGREDIENTS

  • 12 ounces California Giant Blackberries
  • 18 ounces California Giant Raspberries
  • 16 ounces California Giant Strawberries, tops removed
  • 1 pint California Giant Blueberries
  • 3 cups tiny pretzel twists
  • 4 cups popped popcorn
  • 1 (8 ounce) brick mozzarella cheese
  • 1 small 4” pancake (for the Santa face)

DIRECTIONS

      • Grab a board or large platter, about 18” in length and 12” wide.
      • To begin building the Santa, start with the hat at the top of the board. Place 11 strawberries cut side down as the image shows. Place popcorn and a piece of square cheese at the end of the strawberry hat. Add a pretzel at the tail of the hat.
      • Line the pancake up so it sits at the bottom of the strawberries – this will be the base of Santa’s face. Directly underneath the strawberries, begin to place a row of square pieces of cheese. Add popcorn on top of the cheese to create the white part of Santa’s hat.
      • Add two similar sized blueberries for the eyes, two thin rectangle slices of cheese for the eyebrows, and one raspberry for the nose.
      • Start adding in popcorn around the pancake to create Santa’s beard, as shown in the image.
      • Make Santa’s red suit by using raspberries – they don’t have to be perfectly placed. Use the image as a guide. Add a thin slice of cheese and popcorn at the end of his “arms” and place one blackberry at the bottom of the popcorn to create his mitts.
      • To make the belt, line up one row of blackberries and top with a pretzel twist for the buckle.
      • Add another layer of raspberries beneath the row of blackberries. Then below the raspberries, add a row of popcorn and layer on square pieces of cheese on top.
      • For the legs, add a couple slices of large strawberries, and a raspberry or two. Then place some popcorn pieces and a piece of cheese on top. Make the boots by adding two blackberries directly below the popcorn, then a row of three blackberries to finish the bottom of Santa’s boots.
      • Fill in the board with extra pieces of cheese, berries, popcorn and pretzels.

  • Tips

      • Start at the top and work your way down while making the Santa.
      • Don’t be afraid to shift things as needed.
      • Make sure your board is large enough, ideally 18” long so you have room to build the Santa as you work.
      • Use the image as a guide as you build the Santa.
      • Have fun!
