# Expert Tips:
01 -
- They come together in literally 15 minutes, no cooking required
- The sweet and creamy combo keeps guests coming back for just one more
02 -
- Advance assembly is fine up to 4 hours before serving, but cover them tightly so the cheese doesn't dry out
- The strawberries release moisture as they sit, so pat them extra dry before threading
03 -
- Thread grapes near the ends of each skewer to act as natural stoppers
- Leave a tiny bit of space between items so nothing gets squished when you pick them up
