As luck would have it, this time of year also brings holiday potlucks. How do you bring a delicious dish when you have zero free time? Here are some fast, easy and delicious ways to still be part of the party.
1. Cut and Bake
Cut and bake cookies provide the best of both worlds. Delicious fresh baked cookies that you just have to open and put on a pan to bake.
This time of year is perfect for Pillsbury Peanut Butter Cookies with Hershey's Kisses. Just cut and roll the dough into 1 inch in diameter balls and roll in sugar till it gets a light coating. Put them in the oven to bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes and then pull them out to cool. As soon as they are out of the oven place one unwrapped Kiss in the center of each cookie. Let it cool and then enjoy.
2. Chips and Dip
Everyone loves chips and dip. The best part is it's super easy to make a "home made" dip with a little help from your pre-packaged food section.
Grab a bag of potato chips, a container of sour cream and a packet of french onion soup mix. Mix the french onion soup mix with the sour cream and stir. You now have the perfect holiday appetizer in under 2 minutes.
3. Chex Mix
Another great party appetizer is Chex Party Mix. You can buy it pre-made in small bags or for a more budget friendly option you can pick up a box of Chex cereal and make it at home.
One great recipe is Cinnamon Apple Chex Mix and takes less then 15 minutes to prepare.
4. Party Nut Mix
People crave salty snacks at parties, so grab a container of mixed nuts, a bag of mixed chocolate chips (white/milk/dark) and some dried cranberries and mix them in a fun holiday bowl. You will satisfy everyones salty craving in under 2 minutes.
No matter what recipe you choose, the most important thing to remember is that this is a time to relax and enjoy the season. Happy holidays!
