Ideas For Snacks For A Poker Night?
Answers:
wings are too messy, unless you dont mind some sauces on your cards.
stick with some easy finger food type stuff.
nachos would be the messiest i would go with, and even then, im not so sure.
usually its a bunch of guys, drinking, smoking, cussing. they dont care what they are eating.
get 'em a bag of chips and let them play!
bear and chips and hot wings
chips and dip, hoagies, fruit tray, cookies...
Chips, mini sandwiches, popcorn, cookies, brownies. Anything really that you can eat in one hand. And of course beer..lots n lots of beer.
Pretzels, nachos, chips. sc
delived eggs! they were always my favorite!
Think 'finger food' - you don't want to go too elaborate here. The night is for playing poker and you want to be able to play and not have to eat with a fork or knife....
BBQ Chicken wings
Hot Wings
Strawberries dipped in chocolate
Spring rolls / pot stickers
Dips & chips
Trail mix
1 cup cashew pieces
1 cup peanuts
1 cup broken banana chips
1 cup chocolate chips (check ingredients)

Combine the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Either put in large bag or many small ones.
Note: You may want to add other tropical items, if you can find them.
Try sesame seeds, brazil nuts, dried papaya, pecans, chex cereal, pretzels, and macadamia nuts.
Good salami, cheese selection, variety of cracker biscuits, green olives, mixed nuts, small choc bits, jelly beans. All served in small trays for easy eating. ps Port and Vodka in small shot glasses is a winner with this. Have fun.
