For the ultimate Valentine’s Day appetizer or snack, it doesn’t get cuter than these Mango and Mozzarella XOXOs.
Great for birthdays, Mother’s Day, or Father’s Day, too, to show how much you care.
Serve the bites as they are, or drizzle them with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, hot honey, sea salt and pepper.
You can even swap out the ingredients and use fig, apple, melon, or pear for the hearts, and cheddar, manchego, gruyere, or comté for the letters.
