Enhance your charcuterie platter with a savory take on the traditional s'more treat - a scrumptious innovation
A summer evening spent around a crackling fire pit just got a whole lot more delicious. Say goodbye to traditional s'mores and hello to the inventive world of savory s'mores, a charcuterie-inspired twist on the classic campfire treat.
Hand-polished marble cheese knives can add a sleek, designer look to your savory s'mores setup, and are affordably priced under $40.
