Party Snacks

My neighbor was having a party the other day and we had some left over whipping cream in the fridge. My neighbors know i like to bake and I like to take advantage of such parties to bake. So i decided, since we had just enough cream, why not make the nice and easy recipe of cream puffs. While it takes a while to do all the cooking, baking, scooping, and filling, it really doesn't take much effort at all. I might suggest making sure you have all the ingredients before you start. I didn't and i had to borrow some eggs from my neighbors... Anyway it's a crowd pleasing dessert. Because I started making it later, I arrived late to the party but I wasn't even in the house yet when people started pulling them off the tray. By the time I got to the kitchen, there were only four left. Three of those were quickly devoured and the last one only lasted as long as it did because someone set a cake in front of it and people didn't see it.

Sorry the picture is so bad, i forgot to take a picture before i wrapped them up. I promise to post a picture the next time i remember to take a picture.

Because this was a short blog i decided I'd tell you about other crowd-pleasing party snacks! Over the Summer my church got together to watch "I Am Number Four" (which is a pretty good movie by the way but the book is better, I highly recommend both). I took a tray of snacks for everyone to enjoy. The tray was compiled with homemade rice crispy treats, very easy to make, and some chocolate biscotti. The rice crispies have always been highly liked. Last Thanksgiving, my cousin spent the a lot of time hanging out around the treats. My pastor was in love with them. So if your planning a party and you need a quick, easy, and highly lovable, this is for you. The biscotti, not as many people liked. That's really all I can say about it. It would be a good treat with tea, but for a party, not so much. Eat it as something that is just a treat for home, not a crowd.

All these recipes can be found on the recipe page, and on the technique page you can find the best way to melt chocolate quickly and without hassle.
