Party Problem....?!
Answers: I am hosting a PartLite Candle party. I have a bunch of dessert type snacks that I am making from scratch. What kind of salty food could I make to counter the sweets? Also what kind of drinks should I serve?? ( NO alcohol please).
I had the same problem last week:) .... try a dip with veggies or crackers to counteract all the sugar .... Pretzel nuggets are nice (and not as plain as regular pretzels). The honey mustard are really good ..... a big bowl of specialty potato chips (Zapp's are good, and really different flavors - usually available in your grocery) .... A mixture of dry roasted peanuts, white raisins, and dry roasted sunflower seeds .... dried green wasabi peas .....
Get some frozen concentrate for strawberry daiquiri, and put in the blender with some ice...then add 7-Up .... or Mango Margarita mix (I've seen it in tubs too), but substitute 7-Up for the liquor
have a few bowls of peanuts, salsa chips, pretzels, or saltines and cheese.
1/4 lb candy-coated chocolate pieces 1/2 lb melting chocolate 1 lb small pretzels
1. Pour candy-coated chocolate pieces into a small bowl.
2. Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler.
3. Dip pretzels into the melted chocolate, then roll chocolate-covered pretzels in bowl of candy-covered chocolate pieces. 4. Lay resulting clusters on wax paper to cool. Serve when chocolate is no longer sticky to the touch.
Hot Drinks maybe hot choclate
bring
1 cup Hot Cocoa
1 1/2 oz. Peppermint Schnapps
1 tbs. Whipped Cream
Pour hot chocolate and schnapps into a warmed mug and stir well. Top with whipped cream.
An easy punch is a frozen can or two of lemonade, a frozen can or two of cranberry juice - instead of regular water use carbonated water. Or do whatever fruit juice combination you like. But it looks pretty to float some lemon or orange slices on the top. You can also freeze some juice as ice cubes to keep it cold.
I like what people said about nuts and veggies and dip.
And now you've given me an idea of something else to blog about on my party blog. Thanks!

you CAN NOT go wrong with a cheese ball... i love the one with the cream cheese, cheddar cheese covered in pecans. or you can go with the other one that has the cream cheese, worcestershire, cheddar cheese, green onions & dried beef.
