What's a good "snack" to take to a game night?

[KristineIN]

We are having a game night in April at our church and we are supposed to take a snack and drink to share. I am struggling to come up with something. Any ideas?

Thanks,
kristine

I suppose I am boring, but easy is almost always my motto! I would take something simple like popcorn and lemonade. I am sure some of the more creative ladies will have some much more original suggestions.

My kids love baby carrots (with or without ranch dressing), grapes, pretzels, goldfish crackers, cookies (homeade or store bought), and for a drink I would take lemonade or kool-aid. We love the invisible kool-aid, and it doesn't stain!

Popcorn, fruit plate, cheese and crackers, mixed nuts, chex mix.

For a drink, I really like 100% fruit juice mixed with sparkling water.

How about mini-sandwiches (make any kind of sammy and cut into quarters) and little bottles of water?

[KristineIN]

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a good recipe for a cheese ball. I think I'll do something healthy to drink, I hate all the "sugary" drinks that show up. We have one couple, I love them dearly but they always bring Sunny Delight to Bible study for the kids. That stuff is :tongue_smilie:

guacamole and chips... disappears first every time

[Mrs Mungo]

I usually go with one of the following:

cheese, fruit, pretzels

guacamole, pico de gallo, chips

pita bread triangles, hummus, this olive/tomato/onion salad/relish thing I make

eta: I always bring orange juice when I have to bring a kid snack and drink. Oh my gosh, my kids never have sugary drinks (well, with the exception of the very occasional yoo-hoo). I hate when they're put in situations with tons of other kids and are sugared up. Yikes.

Yeah, we try and make our kids think that guacamole isn't any good, but for some reason they just don't believe us. :D

LOL! We do the same thing! Darn smart kids!!

For the snack, I'd take chips, salsa and sour cream (and guacamole if you have any to spare!). I bet it'd be gone VERY fast!!!

[Hoggirl]

1 13-oz. box Golden Grahams cereal
2 cups unsalted peanuts
2 cups large, broken pecan pieces
24 oz. white almond bark

Combine cereal, peanuts, and pecan pieces in a VERY large bowl. Melt almond bark according to package directions and pour over cereal/nut mixture. Mix thoroughly and spread onto two, wax-paper lined, rimmed cookie sheets. Let cool and break into pieces. Store in a covered tin.

OR a variation
UPPITY WHITE TRASH!!!
Substitute 2 cups of salted cashews for the unsalted peanuts, and substitute 12 oz. of white chocolate for half of the white almond bark (thus, 12 oz. white chocolate, 12 oz. white almond bark
