Snowman skewers platter brings together the classic Italian caprese with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil in a whimsical holiday presentation. Each skewer features stacked bocconcini dressed up as adorable snowmen with carrot noses and chia seed details, served on a bed of dressed arugula.
Wash and dry the grape tomatoes, then cut them in half. Drain the bocconcini and pat dry. Wash and dry the basil leaves. Peel the carrot and slice it into thin rounds, then cut small triangular pieces for the noses. Measure out the chia seeds for decoration.

Step 2: Assemble the snowman hats
Take a canapé stick and thread half a grape tomato (cut side down) onto the top. Add one slice of bocconcini to create the hat. These two elements form the snowman's festive hat.

Step 3: Build the snowman's body
Onto the same stick, add one whole bocconcini ball for the head. Take a fresh basil leaf and roll it lengthwise to create a scarf, then thread it onto the stick. Add another whole bocconcini ball to complete the body.

Step 4: Add decorative details
Using chia seeds, carefully place two seeds on the top of the bocconcini ball to create eyes. Add three chia seeds down the centre of the bottom bocconcini ball to create buttons. Insert a small carrot triangle into the top bocconcini to form the nose. Repeat this process to make 5 complete snowman skewers.
