Fun Snacks For Your Holiday Party

Holiday parties are an excellent way to get together with friends, family, or even fellow coworkers to celebrate the upcoming Holiday Season! One thing that guests look forward to, regardless of age, is the food. If you are serving a formal dinner, a Cocktail Hour is usually held beforehand, where guests can snack on small hors d’oeuvres prior to dinner. For simpler, more informal parties , there are a number of tasty holiday snacks that you can serve throughout the evening that are sure to be a hit.

 

Grinch Popcorn

Melt the 3 tbsp butter in a medium pan. When butter is melted, add mini marshmallows. Remove from heat & add a few drops yellow food coloring, mix until mixture is bright yellow. Then add in 1 very small drop of the blue food coloring and stir. This will allow you to get the perfect green color for your Grinch Popcorn.

Slowly pour marshmallow mixture over the popcorn, and stir gently with a spoon until it is covered. Once it’s covered, pour it onto a foil-covered cookie sheet, and drizzle lightly with remaining marshmallow mixture. Sprinkle candy and the 1/2 c. mini marshmallows while the mixture is sticky. Then serve!

Pimento Cheese Balls

Turn pimiento cheese into tiny truffles for your next holiday gathering!

Roll the cheese into 3/4 inch balls. Once they have been formed, roll to coat in your choice of the parsley, bacon, or chopped pecans.

Holiday Pizza Wreath

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Shape pizza crust dough into large ball, let it rest 5 min., then roll it into a large circle. Slice cheese sticks in half lengthwise and place around edges. Roll edges over the cheese & pinch the dough together.

With a 4 1/2 in. circle cookie cutter, cut a circle from the middle of the dough. Spread pizza with sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Add arugula and diced peppers. Sprinkle with more cheese & add salami. Bake 25 min. or until cheese is melted.
