Great Appetizers for Baby Showers and Other Parties
One of the biggest challenges for planning a baby shower or any
other party is picking the right food. Appetizers and snacks are
great for all types of parties, big and small. Here are some
delicious appetizer ideas that you can make yourself or buy for
your party:
1) Stuffed Mushrooms – Stuffed mushrooms are a tasty treat for
any party. Larger mushroom caps of course are better and you can
be creative with your stuffing choices. Some popular ingredient
choices are cheese, bacon, and breadcrumbs.
2) Cheese and Crackers – Cheese and crackers are a simple snack
idea for any party. This snack is also great for health
conscious people. For upscale occasions, cheese logs or gourmet
cheese balls can be used.
3) Fruit Platter – Another healthy and simple idea is fruit
salad or a fruit platter. These platters can contain canned
fruits, fresh fruits, or a mix of both. Some popular choices are
apples, pears, grapes, and strawberries. Add in marshmallows or
raisins if desired.
4) Chips and Dip – Chips and dip are a good idea for any party.
Tortilla chips and potato chips are both popular and salsa, sour
cream, cheese dips, and artichoke dips are great for parties.
5) Mini Sandwich Squares – Sandwiches are easy to make. The
bread can also be buttered, seasoned, and toasted if desired.
Apply any toppings you like and then cut the sandwich into
bite-sized squares. Then stick a toothpick into each square and
place them on a nice tray.
6) Brownies – If you don’t mind doing some baking, then you can
make your own brownies, or you can purchase them at a bakery.
There are many possibilities as far as flavor goes, including
traditional chocolate, fudge, and peanut butter. You can also
add nuts and candy, but be sure your guests are not allergic.
7) Cookies and Cake – Cookies and cake come in many flavors and
are great party treats. Popular flavors for cakes are cheesecake
and carrot cake and for cookies are chocolate chip, oatmeal, and
peanut butter.
Ice Cream – Finally, ice cream is another great party treat,
especially during the summer. Vanilla and chocolate are the most
popular flavors, but parties are also a great opportunity to
offer unique flavors like blueberry cheesecake ice cream.
