Vintage Party Idea: Cheese Hedgehogs ;-)

These were all the rage at my aunt's (and everyone else's!) parties in Germany back in the early 70s. Yes, I'm old enough to remember them <sigh>. It wasn't a party unless a cheese hedgehog made an appearance. It's so cute, I think we should bring it back!

Just slice a small honeydew or watermelon in half, skewer grapes and cubes of your favorite cheese on toothpicks and spear them into the melon. My aunt always wrapped the melon base in aluminum foil (optional). Wicked awesome for any occasion, so "Party hearty!"
