If I put a little extra thought into presenting them on pretty dishes, they becomefancy dinner party snacks.
Potato chips suddenly feel special when you pour them into a vintage crystal bowl.
Cherries are pure luxury when cascaded over crushed ice on a big porcelain platter.
Try itI promise it works.
They look great, taste great, and go exceptionally well with chilled white wine.
Fruit Snacks
You know what else goes with salty crunchy potato chips?
Cold, fresh, sweet, juicy fruit.
Just dont forget to put out a bowl for cherry pits and stems.
If you like spice, addTajin, too!
They make a great snack platter, in several possible ways.
The lowest lift option: Throw a bunch of ripe cherry or Sungold tomatoes on a plattertheyre finger food!
Add pitted olives and mini mozzarella balls and its a fresh antipasto platter.
Add a serving spoon and let your guests heap tomatoes on bread while they wait for dinner.
Its easier and better than bruschetta.
And if you dont get those snacks out before your guests arrive, just ask them to do it!
