I’m trying to come up with ideas for a retirement open house. I had thought of offering a charcuterie board, but think this idea might be a winner. It would help if I could assemble the skewers the night before, cover and refrigerate them until the event the next day. Would this be an issue?
That should work!
These are officially my husband’s new favorite skewers. All his favorite snack foods in one. l love how easy they are to put together.
