Caprese Pops

Directions

1. 1
   Wash and pat dry the fresh basil leaves.
2. 2
   Then wrap them in a damp paper towel so they do not dry out.

   Next, slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set aside.
4. 4
   In order to get the nice circular pieces of mozzarella, slice the mozzarella 1/2 inch thick then cut the slices with the back end of a pastry tip (or any small circular cutter that is about the same size as your tomatoes).
5. 5
   Then take a wooden skewer and slide a basil leaf onto it.
6. 6
   Then slide one side of a halved cherry tomato up against the basil.
7. 7
   Then slide a piece of the circular mozzarella cheese and the remaining half of the cherry tomato onto the end.
8. 8
   Repeat making additional skewers, until all ingredients have been used.

   Refrigerate immediately.
