# Expert Suggestions:

- The sweet and salty combo is dangerously addictive in the best possible way
02 -
- Dry your fruit completely or the cheese will get soggy which is just tragic
- Room temperature cheese threads easier without crumbling so let it sit for ten minutes first
03 -
- Soak wooden skewers for thirty minutes if you plan to grill these sometime though they are perfect raw
- Plant based cheeses work fine here just choose varieties that hold their shape when cubed
