Notes
- For prettiest presentation, choose sturdy, clear plastic cups.
- You can vary the ingredients and switch out any of the individual ingredients for another of the same kind. For example, swab the brie for cubes of cheddar or another kind of cheese.
- Don't want to use fresh berries? Dried cranberries or even dried cherries are both very tasty options.
- Don't skip the handful of almonds in the bottom of each cup, not only do they look pretty but they help weigh down the cups so they don't become top heavy when assembled. If the cups get too top heavy, they risk toppling over.
- This easily doubles or triples for a crowd.
