Here are a few tips to plan your own snack buffet. When you have time, take out a piece of paper and start writing down some possibilities. Write down any recipes that come to mind as you read the following:
-
Trays of things to dip are always popular. I like to put out a veggie platter with ranch dip and an assortment of crackers with my popular recipe "clam dip."
-
A tray of sandwich makings. I load a tray with deli meats and cheeses, and other sandwich makings such as onion, tomato, pickles, mayonnaise, and mustard. You might try a tray of club sandwich makings or Reuben sandwich makings. You can also experiment with different breads, such as party rye or sourdough.
-
Cookies and Candies. Each year, I make two or three of our family's favorite recipes which are included below. What are your family's favorite cookie and candy recipes?
-
Beverages. The Irish Cream recipe below served over ice is wonderful, special treat. We also buy pop and beer and this seems to make everyone happy. You might have a favorite punch, eggnog or hot buttered rum recipe you'd like to serve.
-
Crunchy things. I always have the Chex mix out.
Don't forget that you can have family members or other guests contribute! This will give you more variety and less work! Just tell them to bring a snack type item.
