# Expert Hints:
01 -
- These come together in literally 15 minutes with zero cooking required
- The sweet and salty combination keeps everyone coming back for seconds
02 -
- Dry your fruit completely after washing or the cheese will slide right off the skewers
- Thread the cheese cubes near the middle of each skewer end so they don't fall off when guests grab them
03 -
- Buy blocks of cheese instead of pre cubed, the texture is better and you control the size
- Thread everything onto the skewers on a baking sheet to contain the mess
