  • 1½ cups yogurt-covered pretzels

Instructions

  • Slice strawberries in half lengthwise.
  • Place a small bowl in the top-left corner of your platter and fill it with blueberries to represent the "stars" section of the flag.

Notes

For added variety, substitute raspberries or cherries for strawberries.

Assemble the platter just before serving for best appearance and texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep pretzels separate if you want them to stay crunchy.
