Ingredients
- Saltine Crackers
- Pretzel Sticks

- Mozzarella Balls (Bocconcini, halved if large)
- Black Olives (sliced)
- Clementines (peeled and separated into segments)
- Candy Corn
- Goldfish Crackers (optional)
Instructions
- Peel the clementines, keeping segments intact if possible, and place on a plate.
- Cut the sharp cheddar into bite-sized cubes or triangles (about 1 inch per side).
- Cut mozzarella balls in half if they are large.
- Spread saltine crackers and pretzel sticks across the board, leaving space between items.
- Place cheese cubes and mozzarella halves on or between the crackers, distributing evenly.
- Scatter sliced black olives around the board for color contrast.
- Arrange clementine segments on the board, either grouped or scattered.
- Pour candy corn over the board, creating piles or scattering to cling to other items.
- Step back and adjust any items for final presentation before serving.
Notes
Arrange the board right before serving to prevent crackers from getting soggy due to sticky candy corn. Use room temperature cheese for better flavor and easier cutting. Remove white pith from clementines to avoid bitterness. For gluten-free options, use rice crackers. For dairy-free, use vegan cheese alternatives.
