Christmas Snack Tray Is a Savory Alternative To Sweet Treats

An easy snack tray to serve during the holidays made with sausage, cheese, nuts, and nuts in the shape of a tree. A yummy savory alternative to sweet treats. This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. Christmas is just a few days away and our house is full of bright colored packages, holiday baking, and anticipation of the big night when Santa comes. The other day Kaylee said, “Santa always brings me those little jerky sticks. I hope he remembers to bring them in my stocking this year.”

Well, Santa is a creature of habit and always brings the kids one of their favorite snacks. Those little ‘jerky sticks’ she was referring to are Slim Jims. I don’t’ know of any other 7-year-olds who love jerky and cheese as much as this girl right here.

We decided to make a savory Christmas snack tray this week and it was so easy to do! This would be great for any holiday party or even to gift to someone in lieu of sugary sweets.

Christmas Snack Tray

Supplies:

Slim Jim sticks (I used a 26 ct. box)

cheddar cheese

smoked almonds

pretzels, crackers, etc.

Simply cut Slim Jims into varying lengths and place on a platter to form the shape of a tree.

We cut out stars from cheddar cheese and added smoked almonds and pretzels as a filler for the snack tray.
