A large charcuterie board or charcuterie plate has become the most popular easiest way to feed people at special events.

How to bring these Mini Charcuterie Box Ideas to Life
We are going to begin by filling our mini charcuterie boxes with each food item. Carefully layer the different sweet and savory snacks! Make sure you fill it all the way to the bottom of the box!

Using a 2 ounce portion cup, place 4 servings of apricots in four cups. Then repeat this with the pecans so that you have 4 cups.

Divide the strawberries in fourths and place one fourth into each box. Do the same with the grapes.

Place a cup of the pecans and a cup of the apricots in each container, then add the crackers.

Add your slices of cheese.


Cut each turkey meat stick in half and tuck 4 pieces into each box.

Next, add your dried Apricots!

Hint: If you plan to refrigerate these, I recommend removing the crackers and putting them into their own separate small resealable bag, or adding them in the day of serving. Crackers will soften with the other ingredients in the box.
