Top each cracker with a slice of salami.

Cut cheddar into thick, rectangular blocks that resemble candle shapes.

Place a cheddar block upright in the centre of the salami using a toothpick pushed through the top to hold it in place.

Add a pickled onion on top of each toothpick to resemble a candle flame.

Chill for a few minutes before serving, or enjoy immediately as a festive snack.
