favorite Christmas munchies
We're starting a Christmas morning at our own house tradition this year, so the family is coming to us for the first time. I'm thinking instead of a big meal, I'll just make a bunch of different snack foods that can sit out all day, so people can graze at will.
What are some of your favorites?
Re: favorite Christmas munchies
summersausage/cheese/crackers
fruit/veggie tray
corned beef/cream cheese rolls, with or without pickle inside
devilled eggs
teenie weenies in bbq sauce
chips with dips (artichoke or buffalo chicken dips are my favorites
shrimp cocktail
essentially very basic finger foods that require little actual prep are what i gravitate to on a buffet table.
Homemade Chex Mix,
really thin sugar cookies (my grandmother is the only one who can get them thin enough--cracker thin)
Clementines
nuts
this garlic cheese spread my mother makes
quiche
deviled eggs
Shrimp cocktail
Scallops wrapped in bacon
Brie
Gravlax
This artichoke dip gets devoured every time I make it. I use a number of the modifications suggested in the comments, so let me know if you make it and I can tell you what I do differently.
What about those prosciutto dijon puffs everyone on here makes? I made those (plus a vegetarian version) for a baby shower and people snarfed them down.
I made a spicy white bean chili with cauliflower in the slow cooker for our Halloween party, and I'm going to make it again for a game night we are having before Christmas. It was SO good. I found two of my friends looking through my vegetarian slow cooker cookbook trying to find the recipe. Ha! Let me know if you would like the recipe.
