Something that i make thats real good is a Cream cheese wrap. You take a slice of lunchmeat (i choose ham) and spread the cream cheese on it. Then you take a skinned and sliced cucumber and put the slice onto the meat and wrap it up, Slice it into bite size pieces and stab a toothpick through it. really good, some people choose pickles instead, just depends on your taste i guess. I can probably help you find tons more, If interested just PM me :D
take soft taco shells and spread sour scream on them, may be a little mild hot sauce. put on a few layers of carl budding style turkey or chicken, wrap them up and than slice them and add tooth picks to each one. these are sooo easy and they taste really good and kids like them!
LOL I would look in the freezer sectioon for the already maed ones LOL but those little weiners? or sausages? ya know the itty bitty ones? with BBQ sauce, they always go over BIG time at parties :)
I make crab and shrimp dip
1 8 oz container of whipped cream cheese
1 can shrimp
1 can crabmeat
1 bottle of cocktail sauce
drain and rinse shrimp and crab
mix all ingredients together
serve with tortilla or corn chips or whatever you like
really easy and everyone I have made it for loves it
what NINK said...those are what i make :)
YUM!
potatoe balls
2 C very cold (like leftover) mashed potatoes
1-2 C finely chopped ham (or chicken, turkey, tuna, beef, etc; canned works well, as does ground up hot dogs)
1 egg
1 c (or 4 oz) cheese (shredded)
1/3 C mayo
1 ts prepared mustard
1/4 ts pepper
2-4 TB flour
some crushed corn flakes
combine all, (except cornflakes) using enough flour to form a stiff mixture. CHill in fridge at least 30 minutes.
shape mixture into balls & roll in cornflakes.
bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes.
All amounts are pretty much optional, very forgiving recipe, skip the egg, add more cheese, use less meat, etc. :)
also this recipe is not so good leftover. so, try not to make it too much ahead of time.
Cheese And Sausage Balls
1 c. (heaping) grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 lb. hot sausage
2 c. Bisquick
Tobasco to taste

Thank you all! :) They all sound great.Now I just have to decide on one because I have to get my butt to the grocery store.Merry Christmas to you all!!! :)

A Bit of Hawaii

Using colorful picks, spear a cherrie, then a pineapple chunk, largest side on the bottom. Save the pineapple juice and the cherrie juice and pour into any type of punch that you have made after leaving a small amount in the serving dish. They will go really fast!

Finger food?? As when I dip my finger into the peanut butter jar when nobody is looking??
“Christmas Crack”
{AKA Saltine Toffee Candy}
Ingredients
1 cup butter (NOT margarine - original recipe calls for unsalted butter but I've used both)
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
40 saltine crackers
Instructions
1. Heat oven to 400.
2. Line 12x17 cookie sheet with foil and spray well with cooking spray.
3. Layer the saltine crackers on top of the foil.
4. Heat butter and sugar on stovetop and heat until gently boiling, stirring constantly.
5. Reduce heat to very low boiling and cook, uncovered, 3 minutes, until the mixture is thickened and sugar is dissolved. (Be careful to avoid burning the butter and sugar- that will ruin the recipe!)
6. Pour butter and sugar mixture over crackers and spread evenly.
7. Bake 5-6 minutes in oven.
8. Remove pan from oven and let cool 3-5 minutes, then sprinkle with chocolate chips.
9. As chocolate chips melt, carefully spread into an even layer over the toffee layer.
10. Let cool completely (refrigerate to cool more quickly.)
11. Break into bite-sized pieces and serve. . . yum!
12. Store covered in refrigerator.
