What are some good snacks to have a party that I'm hosting?
Its mainly adults and just a couple of kids like 4. can anyone share there ideas? And if anyone has some recipes to that would be great. Thanks.
Answers:
chips and dip, finger sandwhiches, bite sized brownies, veggie platter...finger foods that your guests can eat without too much of a fuss.
yup get
1-chips
2-sower babys
3-sorvanzes
I like to keep it fairly simple. A fruit platter, veggie platter, meat and cheese and crackers, olives and pickles. Or you can get some great frozen hor d'oeurves and just pop them in the oven.
Since children are going to be there serve pigs in a blanket. Have a cheese ball, and crackers. Since it's chilly out, have a coffee station set up, with sugar, flavored creamers, etc. You could also serve cheese dip, and keep in warm in a crock pot. Cocktail wieners are always a hit, too.
Mini Reuben pockets.........so good and easy!
Ingredients:
Pastry sheet dough (pre-made)
corned beef
sour kraut
thousand island dressing
Lay the pastry sheet dough out and cut into squares, of your desired size. Put a little bit of corned beef and a spoonfull of sourkraut on top of a square, then cover it with another square to form a "big ravioli".
Place on baking sheet and bake according to directions on box of pastry sheets and serve w/ 1000 island dressing.
*You can use this idea to creat other appetizers with different fillings.........ham and cheese, spinach and ricotta, crabmeat........possiblitlies are endless.
Buy cream cheese, pepperoni, and Ritz crackers... Smear an allotted amount of cream cheese on both Ritz crackers then put 2-4 pieces of pepperoni on the top of one of the cheesed crackers push both half's together and they are delicious for adults. For children and adults have chopped veggies, and fruit, and chips and have multiple dips to choose from.
I would say:
Cucumber Crab Boats
Chips
Artichoke & Spinach Dip
Salsa
Guacamole
Ham, Cucumber, & vegetable cream cheese Pinwheels
White Wings
Jumbo Shrimp wrapped in Applewood Bacon
Pasta Salad
Miniature Tenderloin Bruschetta
This is all I can think of right now.
Hope this helps!
A veg. tray, with a dip. cube deep fry chicken on tooth picks, sandwhich squares on tootpick.
ruffles chips and dip
cookies
m&m's
chex mix
popcorn with nuts and M&Ms (no butter)
little smokies w/ BBQ sauce
oyster crackers with ranch seasoning
velveeta cheese melted with hamburger (do in crockpot) served with tortilla chips
I can further express FINGER FOODS. Spinach dip (spinach, vegtable soup mix, mayo, sour cream and some veggie crackers to dip) cheese balls, coktail weiners (grape jelly bbq sause cooked in a slow cooker all day) fruit punch (made with real fruit, the store bought stuff is just nasty)
I have 1 snack for you. You have to bake it so if you don't like to bake then oh well.
It's buffalo chicken dip --
1 8 oz of cream cheese
2 large cans of canned chicken breast (swanson brand perhaps)
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (fancy style works well b/c it melts easily)
1/2 cup ranch dressing (hidden valley original has the best flavor)
1/2 cup red hot hot sauce (if you like it hot add more to taste)
what you do is take the two cans of canned chicken - DRAIN and place in a bowl, break it up with a fork. Add the SOFTENED cream cheese. Mix in the ranch dressing. xook in oven for approcimately 15 minutes at 350-375 degrees depending on your oven. You want everything to melt together, then add the remainder of the shredded cheddar cheese and cook for five to ten minutes-- until melted. then serve with celery or tortillas or crackers. this makes a lot of dip
Cheese & crackers, chips & dip, shrimp & cocktail sauce, veggies & dip, quesadillas, buffalo wings - These are all very inexpensive things that can be prepared in a snap.
Cocktail weiners
Mini Meatballs
Veggie platter and/or fruit platter
cocktail shrimp
puppy chow (not the dog food)
Trail mix
chips and dip
So many to choose from!!!
SMOKED SALMON (sliced french stick slices with a smear of cream cheese, chopped red onion, capers and smoked salmon on top.... to die for)
SHRIMP (slice raw shrimp butterfly style and stuff with an equal mixture of goat and cream cheese, chopped chives and lemon rind; then wrap with a thin slice of prosciutto and fry in a little olive oil until shrimp turn pink on both sides). You could serve this at room temperature, so prepare in advance.
munchies
canape, rice snaps with different toppings, curvy nachos, sausage rolls, small meat or salmon Pate, shrimps on stick, round chapati and some avocado dipping or Philly dip
coke, 7-up and pepsi. also, chips, peanuts and pretzels...Good luck with your party.....Have fun...

You can also serve a cheese platter with some pitted olive and small pickles.
Whatever you serve, please ensure that there are some healthy, low-fat, sugar-free options like veggies with low-fat dip, fruit, baked tortilla chips and salsa, pretzels, shrimp with cocktail sauce and have sugar-free drinks like diet soda available as well as bottled water and juice.

I have a reciepe for a really good dip .
First you need a block of chedder cheese
you need a brick of cream cheese
you'll need salsa 1 jar
and salad dressing (miracle whip)
and 1 bag of tortilla chips.
now grate your chedder.Then in another bowl mix a tablespoon of miracle whip with the cream cheese.Oh ya to do this dip it's best in a clear bowl cause it looks pretty to.
now you start off by putting a layer of salsa on the bottom then a layer of grated cheese then a layer ofthe cream cheese mix and you keep doing this until your bowl is full.You serve this with tortilla chips.
another mexican reciepe is resturant size tortilla chips and spread refried beans on each chip,then sprinkle shredded chedder cheese on top n put in the oven to melt and heat up
In the mean time you can put chopped lettuce and tomatoes on top when you take it out of the oven you then serve sour cream n salsa on the side.
You could also substitute the refried beans for chili.Good luck these r 2 easy foods and they r usually a hit at a party HAVE FUN.
Quick and easy..people I make this for love it.
1. Flat bread, any flavor you prefer, I use plain
2. Philly roasted red pepper cream cheese (1 container)
3. 1 package imitation crab meat shredded
4. 1 celery stalk small dice.
Mix well in a bowl #2 to #4, let it sit covered in fridge over night. Spread over flat bread (not too thick) then roll it and slice it into pin wheels, bite size is best!! Hope you like it, good luck
puff pastry things...buy the frozen premade puffs..fill them with whatever..cream cheese and anything is always yummy...
pinwheels of whatever..(get tortilla shells..spreads with filling of choice..roll them up, and cut them )..or go and buy the premade frozen ordure's you just pop IN the oven...Meatballs are easy to make..chicken wings are easy.lots of things really..depends on what the tastes are.
