I need a snack for a craft party on Saturday. Normally everyone brings cookies, chips, Chex mix, crackers, Cheetos, tortilla chips and jar queso, stuff like that. There is no refrigerator or microwave, and everything will be left out all day so it can't be something that will spoil. It must be bought in a store. But, I want to bring something that is lower in sodium and healthier. People already bring veggies and fruit, so what is left? The only thing I can think of is no-salt pretzels. Help!
eta to bold some words


Love to scrapbook!
Re: Need snack ideas
Pretzel crisps are yummy!
Fruit & cheese kabobs
Pinwheel sandwiches
You can put a nice cream cheese spread on a crostini and add a cucumber
Are pretzel crisps reduced sodium?
Can cream cheese set out all day without going bad?
If I make sandwiches with mayo, can they sit out all day without going bad?
I am not sure about the pretzel crisps. They may make some that are reduced sodium.
When we have had the cream cheese crostinis at parties, we leave it out for hours and it is fine.
I wouldn't put mayo on them, I'd get packets and have it off to the side for people to add on their own.
Hummus could stay out for awhile.
An antipasto platter?
Ants on a log?

explain yourself, lol
Haha, maybe it's a regional thing?
PB in celery with raisins. Alternatives are any other dried fruit instead of raisins and cream cheese instead of PB. It's normally for kids but it really is a great snack and is kind of childhood throwback for adults.

What do you mean bought in a store? I have an excellent black bean and corn salsa recipe that is awesome with some good tortillas.
Apples and peanut butter slices. Keep the apples bright white by dipping them in pineapple juice.
Something store bought that I just open up and set out. No homemade dips or baked goods.
And, whatever it is, it will be sitting out for 10 hours.
Tortilla Chips & Salsa?
TJ's sells sodium free corn tortilla chips. Salsa is healthy and doesnt need refrigerated.
Bruschetta & sliced/toasted baguette?
TJ's sells both of these as well, in some stores you can even buy the toasted crostini.
