Tomorrow my team at work is having a little snack day to celebrate a coworker’s birthday. Since I’m all caked out, I decided to go with two simple and easy to put together party snacks.
The first snack is a salami roll-up (I also call them salami cigars).
You’ll need the following items:
- Softened cream cheese
- Salami slices
- Sliced peperoncini
- Basil leaves (but that’s really up to you. I love it though)
I like to kind of separate things out to make it easier to assemble.
Just spread a little bit of cream cheese onto the salami.
Add a few peperoncinis.
And roll!
The if you want to add the basil you can do that too.
Done!
It has a nice sour and salty flavor, but the cream cheese evens it all out.

The second thing I made is something my mom always had around at Christmas or various get togethers. Cherry, pineapple and cheese stacks. I’m sure there’s a really catchy name for them, but I have no idea what that could be. If you can think of a good suggestion leave it in the comments, I’d love to see what people come up with.
When I was little, I’d always go for the pineapple and cherries, but leave the cheese on the stick. Now that I’m older (and a total fatty), I eat the whole thing. Waste not want not! Just maybe don’t eat the toothpick.
For this one you’ll need:
- Maraschino cherries
- A block of cheese
- Pineapple chunks
- Toothpicks
That’s it!
Cut the cheese into little squares. I cut them into inch slices (or there abouts), but it really depends on how much you really like cheese.
Place one of your cheese squares on a toothpick. Leave enough space for people to hold the toothpick when they pick it up.
Then add one pineapple chunck.
And top with a cherry.
It’s a sticky project, but easy. I’m seriously all about no complications these days and wrapped this up in less than half an hour.
Easy Peasy! Enjoy!
