Ingredients
16ouncesassorted cheeses
24slices/pieces cured meats
1cupmixed berries
1/2cupgrapes
1/2cupolives
1cupnuts
16long thin crackers
8piecesfresh herbs
Instructions
Start by filling your containers with smaller items like nuts and grapes, distributing them evenly. (If you wanted to use a dip instead, you could add that here.)
Tuck the crackers towards the back of the container, leaving some space in the front for the toothpick-skewered items.
Using toothpicks, skewer a variety of ingredients such as cheeses, meats, olives, berries, and other desired items.
Use mini forks or extra picks to present individual pieces of cheese or other specialty items, placing them strategically within the cup.
Insert the toothpick-skewered items into the container, varying their heights and colors to create visual interest.
Fill in any remaining gaps in the container with extra ingredients to hold everything securely in place.
For an added touch, garnish the charcuterie cup with a sprig of fresh herb and cheese slices cut from mini cookie cutters.

Notes
*Please note that I'm somewhat generalizing with the amounts listed above. You may need a little more or a little less, depending on the size of your containers. I always err on the side of having more than enough (I'm never one to complain about having extra cheeses and meats on hand).
