The Best Party Snack Ideas
Party Snack Ideas
A successful party not only includes drinks, games, and good company – Snacks are a vital component to keep your guests happy and filled.
Here are some perfect snack ideas for your party ranging from birthdays, game nights, Friendsgiving, holidays, graduation, all the way to funerals.
- Perfect Charcuterie Board
- Delicious 7 Layer Dip
- A Veggie Love Affair
- Anything Chocolate
- Cookie-Galore
- Finger Food Classics
Let’s jump right into it.
- Perfect Charcuterie Board
A basic charcuterie board includes a variety of cheeses and meats (HAM, obviously, is one of our favorites). A great platter, however, includes ingredients that tie the whole board together with an explosion of flavors in your mouth – the sweetness of fruit, the saltiness of crackers, and not to forget the rich flavors of nuts and perhaps chocolate.
(Pro Tip – add a honeycomb.)
Throw a bunch of these ingredients you can probably find in your fridge and pantry on a wooden board and call it a day.
- Delicious Seven Layer Dip
We all had Salsa, hummus and other generic dips you buy from a store and scoop the contents in a bowl and call it done. Well, to stand out, you might want to finesse your dip game and jump on the train of layered dips.
As the name suggests, Seven Layer Dip has seven ingredients.
– Start with refried beans
– Topped with some guacamole
– A healthy layer of sour cream
– Salsa that tickles you in the right spot
– Taco meat (now that’s where it gets serious)
– Sprinkle cheddar cheese (be generous)
The last step (7) is to add a mixture of shredded lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and red onion. Just in case you hate yourself enough, maybe some cilantro.
There you got it, seven layers that will make your guests come back for more.
- A Veggie Love Affair
You might think veggies, especially raw, are just not it. That’s why we got an idea for you – The Veggie Love Affair. Everything tastes better when covered in cheese and creamy goodness (if you catch our drift).
Start with an assortment of veggies and cut them in bite-friendly-sized strips or cubes. The dip consists of mayo, sour cream, lemon juice, and a seasoning mix that includes salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, onion, parsley, and dill. Measure with your heart because it’s impossible to screw this up. Enjoy.
4. Anything Chocolate
I mean this speaks for itself. Anything chocolate is fair game; everyone loves it, so there is not much that will go wrong here. However, in case there is a person in your life, who does not enjoy the tastiness of chocolate, you might want to re-evaluate your friend’s choices (unless they love HAM, then they are golden).
- Cookie-Galore
Like chocolate, there is not much that can go wrong with cookies. You should have a large assortment of different cookies; therefore, everyone can find something that tickles them in just the right places. Chocolate chips, snickerdoodles, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, or basic sugar cookies will be a hit at any party. So, get to baking, or buy them at a store and take the credit anyway. Be a smart cookie.
- Finger Food Classics
One of the most popular staples at any party – the finger foods. We all know piggies in a blanket (anything HAM-related gets us going), however, there is more to finger foods than the basics that make every 5-year-old’s artery squeal.
Here are some of our top-rated finger foods for grown-ass-adults:
– Shrimp cocktail (Fancy)
– Fried Mac and Cheese Balls (Yum)
– Fried Pickles
– Brie in Philo dough drizzled with honey
– Sandwich rolls (with HAM, of course)
– Meatballs
– Empanadas
– Potato skins
The list goes on and on; you get the idea.
Now that you are educated on a (proper) party snack etiquette, your next gathering is going to be popping off in the best way possible. Guests will love it and properly want more of it and never leave your place. If you need advice on how to get rid of them, stay tuned. Of course, don’t forget to bring the Game of HAM to your party, because this piggie will tie the whole party experience together; we got you covered there too. Show now at http://gameofham.com/shop
