What are the best snacks to serve at an office meeting?
Answers:
Fruit is a good and healthful snack to have at meetings, especially when it's sliced up. It's enough sugar to get going without the sugar crash that comes with donuts.
Other stuff that I usually have out are nuts - usually pistachios; small individual bags of trail mix; powerbars; and BREATH MINTS!!
One last note - try to avoid the big bowls of snack goods. There's small individual packs of almost every snack. With the flu season at it's height, you don't need to provide more opportunities to pass germs around!
cookies and donuts
Lay's potato chips
If you have a fridge- dip & chips like 7 layer or taco dip with tortillia chips, spinach dip with veggies, or a crabmeat dip all would be pretty easy for a office party.
If no fridge- try a chex mix, or puppy chow, or make your own spicey roasted nuts.
I have found that valium or prozac placed in a doughnut works well.
veggies and dip with napkins
cheese and crackers with napkins
CAKE! everyone loves cake, also you could try chips and dip, a veggie tray, fruit tray but if it's just a normal office meeting not really like a celebration of something, get a nice sandwich tray to tie everyone over till lunch.
While I can't answer that for sure (don't know your policies or the time of the meeting), make sure there's something savory for those of us who don't or can't eat sweets. I hate seeing doughnuts, cakes, candies, bars, etc... I don't know how to politely tell them that I'm sure it's very good, but I _can't_ eat those things.
If it's in the morning, do a breakfast pizza!
Trail Mixes and Nuts or a cake
maybe finger sandwiches if you can keep them
cold
Donuts and Pancakes
depending on how manypeople, a platter of cookies for the sweets people, a tray of coke, diet coke, sprite and bottled water, (is it a morning meeting? ----muffins and bagels always work)... an assortment of bagged granola, air popped popcorn, and other earth friendly goodies that will keep people awake duing meetings
Costco offers a number of party platters at very reasonable rates. One of those should be very welcomed.

very easy and tasty is to put on slices of French bread some salads as Russian salad,Greek tzatziki or some others...or you can make peanut ball:mix all together:250g butter,2yolks,5 tablespoon of water,half teaspoon of salt,250g flour,1baking- powder and 100g peanuts(chopped and well baked).Put it in fridge for a half an hour and after that make 50balls(if they are too big they will have scratches).Put balls in foam of 1 egg white and in sesame and baked in preheated oven 220*C ,15min.
Muffins or bagels with individual pkg of cream cheese. Cheese and cracker or peanut butter and cracker packs. A bowl of apples, oranges and bananas is good, as well as individual packs of peanuts. Small bags (variety box) of chips. Cookies are always popular. Energy or granola bars are really good.
When we have our Dept. Head meetings - sometimes our managers hand out snack sized candy bars.
nothing messy like dip or mini pizzas gooey ,runny cheese.
go for other finger foods.mini bagels with salmon and cream ,goat cheese with dried tomatoes or herbs,cheeses and veggies,mini cheese cakes,pretzels-, stuffed pita bread -like with a nice gruyere cheese and turkey mustard,secure with ttokpicks and slice in 3,no veggies-so they do not become soggy or slip out of the roll!,i would not serve any chips you want to HEAR the meeting not the crunch crunch!
soft cookies-oatmeal or the likes
hope it's a productive meeting and it helps your career!
