Substitutions and Variations
Berry Cracker Canapes: You could try using other berries like cranberries, strawberries, or raspberries, instead of blueberries, and swap the dark chocolate chips for milk chocolate ones.
Corn Cheese Cracker Canapes: You could use garlic and herb soft cheese instead of plain for an extra boost of flavour.
Peanut Butter Banana Cracker Canapes: Try almond butter instead of peanut butter for flavour change.
Tips and Tricks
Chill Before Serving: Chill the canapes in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the cream cheese and Greek yogurt to firm up, making them easier to handle.
Bite Size Canapes: Make them bite-sized for easy snacking for kids. If you’re using large crackers, break them into smaller pieces to make them easier to pick up.
Crackers: Go for crackers that are sturdy enough to hold toppings.
Topping: Avoid spreading too much cheese, sauce, or peanut butter. Excess spread can drip, making it messy and difficult for kids to pick up.
