Tara's Notes

To eat a banderilla, put the whole thing in your mouth and slide it off the pick. It is a mouthful, but manageable and not as much as it seems.
Plan on each person eating 3-5 banderillas if that is all you are serving. Banderillas are terrific with martinis.

Cook's Notes

Yield
Makes 1 banderilla per recipe
Advance Prep
The banderillas can be prepared a couple of hours before serving. Cover them with a damp paper towel and refrigerate. Let them come to room temperature before serving.
Variations
You can, of course, make up your own combination of ingredients that suits your taste, just make sure to use a combination of textures and include something salty on each pick.
Special Equipment
Extra long toothpicks make threading the ingredients a bit easier.
