Prepare the Cups:
Start by selecting your plastic drink cups or champagne glasses. These will serve as the base for each individual portion of your charcuterie cups.

Layer the Crackers:
Place a cracker at the bottom of each cup. Raincoast crisps are ideal, as they are sturdy and flavorful, but you can use Firehook crackers or Mary’s Gone crackers for a clean, simple taste.

Add the Cheese:
Place a triangle of Manchego cheese on top of the cracker. The nutty, tangy flavor of Manchego pairs perfectly with the sweet dried fruit and crunchy cashews.

Add the Fruit:
Add a sliced strawberry for a fresh and colorful pop, followed by a dried apricot for a chewy, sweet contrast to the savory elements.

Top with Nuts:
Add a small handful of roasted and salted cashews for crunch and a touch of saltiness, which will balance the sweet and savory flavors in the cup.

Serve and Enjoy:
Once assembled, arrange the charcuterie cups on a wooden board or serving tray. Serve immediately or chill for a while before your guests arrive.
