Ingredients

  • Assorted crackers (e.g., multigrain, water crackers, or sturdy brand like Triscuit) – about 1 cup (120g)
  • Cubed cheese (cheddar, gouda, or mozzarella) – ¾ cup (110g), chilled
  • Cured meats (sliced salami, pepperoni, or prosciutto) – ½ cup (50g), folded or rolled
  • Seedless grapes or cherry tomatoes – ½ cup (75g), washed and dried
  • Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, or walnuts) – ¼ cup (35g), unsalted preferred
  • Olives (green or black, pitted) – ¼ cup (40g), optional
  • Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme) – a few sprigs
  • Optional extras: honey or fig jam for drizzling, baby carrots or cucumber slices, mini pickles or cornichons

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and lay out crackers, cheese, cured meats, grapes, nuts, and any extras on a clean counter.
  2. Wash and dry grapes or cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Slice baby carrots or cucumber into bite-sized sticks if using.
  3. Cube cheese into small ¾ inch (2 cm) cubes. Fold or roll cured meat slices to fit nicely in bags.
  4. Portion crackers, cheese, meats, grapes, nuts, and olives evenly into quart-sized resealable bags.
  5. Add a small sprig of rosemary or thyme into each bag for aroma.
  6. Press out as much air as possible before sealing each bag to keep ingredients fresh and prevent crushing crackers.
  7. Place snack bags flat in a cooler or insulated bag with ice packs until snack time.
  8. Optional: Pack a small container or mini jar with honey or fig jam separately to drizzle over crackers before eating.

Notes

Keep fresh produce dry before packing to avoid soggy crackers. For best freshness, keep cheese and meats separate from crackers if prepping ahead. Seal bags tightly and keep chilled until serving. Customize ingredients for dietary needs or preferences.
