Chips and salsas always go over well at my parties.
MANGO SALSA
12 roma tomatoes, seeded, diced
1 red onion, diced
5 jalapenos, diced(add 1/4 habenero pepper for extreme heat)
2 mangos, diced
1 cup finely chopped cilantro
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chilli powder
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tbsp tobasco or other pepper sauce
MIx all of the ingredients together. Refridgerate for 1 hour and then serve. Keep in mind that the salt will draw out the juices from the ingredients and so the mixture may have to be drained from time to time. Save the juice for Bloody Mary's or Caesar.

Buffalo wings
Spiced nuts
Popcorn
Dips and chips
Bacon and Egg Slabs
Grease a rectangular oven dish and line with flaky pastry. (I use ready rolled)
Fry off trimmed and diced bacon and allow to cool on paper towels. Place in dish and make wells to drop 4 eggs in. Pierce the yolks and cover with another sheet of pastry. Pierce the pastry several times with a knife for steam vents. Brush with milk.
Bake in a 180C oven for 35-45 minutes until the pastry is golden.
Turn out and allow to cool a little then cut in 75mm squares.
You can put everything out in dishes and people can make their own.

One small can of cream of broccoli soup.
One small block of cream cheese (room temp - softened)
As much peperoni as you want diced up (use the big logs it tastes better)
mix all that jazz together in a pyrex dish and bake on 350 for like ten mins, then stir it up a bit more and pop it bake in for another 20-30 min until nice and hot and it begins to brown a bit.
Dip some club crackers in that ***** and enjoy!
My mom always used to spread Doritos on a cookie sheet, sprinkle them with shredded cheese, pop them in the oven until it was melty, and serve it with spicy salsa. Great finger food--but for a SMASH hit, make you own tortilla chips.
I learned this during my time in deep south TX and I made these chips for a work Halloween party here in IL--people I didn't know were seeking me out to tell me how good they were! And they're easy.
Buy a pack of soft corn tortillas at the grocery store (Wal-Mart here in IL sells them in packs of a couple hundred). Heat up some oil in a pot (or deep fryer if you are lucky enough to own one). Tear the tortillas into quarters and fry them up in the oil (I use canola). When they start to turn a little brown and they feel hard, pull them out and let the excess oil drain on paper towels. Salt them while they're hot. Test your first batch for crunchiness and adjust your frying time as needed.
Healthy? No way--but the best tortilla chips you will ever have, and you can brag that you made them yourself! I cover them in cheese and some pickled jalapeno slices and heat it all up and munch away. Sinfully delicious.
Good luck!
