# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in literally 15 minutes but look like you put in way more effort
  • The sweet and creamy contrast is addictive—kids and adults both reach for them
02 -
  • Dry your fruits really, really well—any moisture on the surface will make the cheese get weird and soft faster
  • If you're making these more than an hour ahead, wait to thread the strawberries until the last 30 minutes or they'll start to weep and get mushy
03 -
  • Buy a block of cheese and cube it yourself—pre-cubed cheese has this weird waxy coating that affects the texture
  • Thread the ingredients right up to the top of the skewer but leave about half an inch at the bottom for something to hold onto
