# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes fifteen minutes but looks like you spent all afternoon fussing over it
  • No cooking means no stress when you're already juggling a million things for the party
  • Everyone can pick what they like, so picky eaters and adventurous snackers are both happy
02 -
  • Edible silver is completely safe but use it sparingly. A little shimmer is elegant, too much looks like you raided a craft store.
  • Assemble this platter no more than an hour before serving. The crackers can get soft from the moisture in the cheese and grapes if it sits too long.
  • If someone in your group has a tree nut allergy, skip the walnuts and use pepitas or sunflower seeds instead. They add the same crunch without the risk.
03 -
  • Use a large platter, bigger than you think you need. Crowding makes it hard for people to grab things without knocking over the whole arrangement.
  • If you're transporting this, assemble everything except the honey and silver leaf. Add those right before serving so nothing gets sticky or smudged.
  • Freeze a few grapes ahead of time and toss them in at the last second. They keep everything chilled without watering it down like ice would.
