Balsamico-Glazed Easy Peasy Caprese Skewers

Easy Caprese Skewers

Easy Caprese Skewers are so simple and refreshingly delicious!  Made with string cheese and cherry or grape tomatoes, you might even be able to get your child to try them!

Princess Sweetie Pie calls cherry/grape tomatoes “berries”, so we just ask her if she would like “berries” with her cheese and she usually says yes (we don’t give her the toothpick, though!  We give her the cheese chunks and tomatoes on a plate or in her two little hands.).

One of the best parts of making this easy appetizer for a party is that they can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use.  I made these the night before for my Easy Appetizer Party for a Crowd and they were still fresh and delicious at party time.
