I got one Saturday night and I am taking:

Snowball Cookies (A hit for the holiday)

*Ingredients: 3 sticks butter, softened, 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 3 cups all purpose flour, 10 oz package of chocolate chips 'the holiday chips are a cute alternative' , 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts, 1 sprinkle of powdered sugar*

*Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees; beat sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and salt in large mixer bowl until creamy; Gradually beat in flour (until complete) and then add in morsels and nuts; Shape level tbsps of dough into balls (1 1/4 inch shapes) and place onto ungreased baking sheets; Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until browned and remove from oven to cool; Once cool, sprinkle with additional powdered sugar and store/enjoy.

Hope you like this one!!!




However, I do like the other ideas! Got a good recipe thing going here!

SUPER Fast and Easy!!

One regular size container of Cool WHip (your choice of fat free, light or reg)
One (12 0z) jar orange or lemon marmalade (can be sugar free

Mix together all both. CHill and serve with graham crackers or the graham cracker sticks

UTTERLY delicious and lowfat!!

Thanks, all. Im making sausage balls and rum balls. I can make sausage balls fairly quickly and the rum balls will make everyone happy.

okay now I am hungry ROFL and you are welcome

Fred, I think I am going to make the fried cheese bites tonight!! Thanks for the GREAT idea

heartlvrs~ my kids will LOVE your idea...sounds yummy!

I have never been to a finger food dinner, but after seeing all these recipes, I would like you all to come to my house for one!!! lol These all sound so scrumptious. I like good ol taco dip. And its always a great hit anywhere I take it and oh so easy to make. Also the ham rolls are great, but we use pickle spears to wrap in the ham along with the cream chese. I hope no one minds, but I am printing off a few recipes from this to use at a future date. I got to go find something to eat now!!

roast your own nuts. hubby hates the cans 1/2 full of peanuts. I've been using cashews, almonds, and pecans, get them raw in the produce section.
Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil per pound, lightly salt. Roast on 250 oven for 1 hour stirring every 20 min.
brought them to the office party and everyone was raving about them. not cheap, but way cheaper than canned nuts, taste terriffic.
makes a great gift as well.
