- Begin by quartering the pita bread evenly and generously spreading them with cream cheese.
- Gently insert pretzel sticks into the base of each pita triangle. You can either keep them separate for individual canapés or join two together for a delightful party snack (like we have).
- In a mixing bowl, mash the avocados and then mix in lemon juice, salt, and pepper, creating a simple guacamole. Spread the guac onto the pita breads.
- Arrange tomatoes, spring onions, and capsicum on top of the avocado, resembling festive baubles on a Christmas tree.
