Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (150g) brownie bites or mini fudge squares
  • 1 cup (120g) salted pretzels or mini wafer cookies
  • 1/2 cup (60g) roasted salted almonds or pecans
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 cup (150g) blueberries
  • 1 cup (150g) green grapes
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh raspberries
  • 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate chunks or gourmet chocolate squares
  • 1/2 cup (50g) mini marshmallows
  • 4 oz (115g) mild brie or white cheddar cubes
  • 8 sprigs (4g) fresh mint leaves
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) honey or maple syrup

Instructions:

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry all berries and grapes to ensure no excess water seeps into the cups.
  2. Chop the chocolate and cheese into uniform 1/2-inch (1.3cm) cubes.
  3. Arrange all ingredients in separate bowls for an efficient assembly line workflow.
  4. Place two brownie bites or fudge squares at the bottom of each cup to act as the anchor.
  5. Add a handful of salted pretzels or wafers along the sides, leaning them against the glass to create a visual frame.
  6. Skewer a strawberry, a blueberry, and a mint leaf on a bamboo pick and nestle it into the center of the cup.
  7. Fill the remaining gaps with chocolate chunks, nuts, marshmallows, and cheese cubes.
  8. Finish with a final garnish of a single raspberry and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
