Simple Party Snacks?!
Simple Party Snacks?
I'm having an adult only Halloween party. It will take place after dinner but need to provide snacks and such for the rest of the evening. I'm not interested in Halloween themed snacks. I need real simple ideas besides crudite, chips and salsa and cheese and crackers. I throw a party every year and the work is too much to make deviled eggs and fondue etc. Any other ideas?

I have a quick and easy recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies and everyone loves cookies. 1 cup crunchy peanut butter, 1 egg, and 1 cup sugar. Roll into balls and press flat with fork on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with a little more sugar and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Yummy!
Hit the frozen food section at Costco/Sam's Club. They have bean and cheese mini burritoes, mini veggie eggrolls and spring rolls, borrow a crockpot and fill it with frozen veggie meatballs. Dump a jar or two of spaghetti sauce over it and let it go on low for about 10 to 12 hours (start it in a.m.) Put out toothpicks next to the crockpot for folks to spear them with...
Fruit tray is always a good bet, buy cheap pound cakes and slice them into finger sized pieces to go along with the fruit...

ENJOY!!!
