Quick, Easy & Fun Cheese Platter Kids will Love

It is party season – the period of time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s tends to have one party after another.   A staple on most people’s holiday party menus is a cheese platter.  Today I want to focus on how you can make a quick, easy & fun cheese platter kids will love.

Ingredients Needed

• Stella Italian Sharp Cheese
• Stella Romano Cheese
• Assorted crackers
• Pepperoni or other meats
• Assorted fruits

Instructions

• Remove the cheese from the wrappers.
• Slice into thin slices.
• Use a small cookie cutter (I used a star shape) to cut the cheese (this only worked with the Italian Sharp Cheese as the Romano was too crumbly).
• Save the small pieces of cheese to use when cooking another meal.
• Use the small cookie cutter to cut the pepperonis (or other meat).
• Arrange the cheese and pepperoni on the platter.
• Add crackers (any variety you prefer) to the platter.
• Add fruit (any variety you prefer) to the platter.
• Serve and watch the kids eyes light up when they see the fun shaped cheese and pepperoni.

I ended up using my Romano cheese for warm appetizers (not pictured).  I crumbled the cheese on top of a cracker and popped in the oven at 350° for roughly 5 minutes.  The combination of the flavor of the cracker and cheese was quite amazing.
