Cheese fondue is classic party food that never fails to impress. Making and serving cheese fondue is surprisingly simple and always enjoyable. All you need is a little bit of time, some creativity, and a few ingredients.
Begin by melting your choice of cheese in a pot or fondue bowl over the stove. Add flavouring such as garlic, onions or herbs to kick it up a notch! Serve with an array of snacks – like pieces of vegetables, pretzels, and crusty bread.
Fried Plantain Chips with Guacamole Dip
Fried plantain chips are a delicious crunchy snack that can easily be made. To make them, start with ripe plantains and peel then slice into fingers. Heat up the oil in a deep skillet and add the plantain slices in batches.
Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown before moving onto a plate lined with pieces of paper towel. Sprinkle with salt, serve with a side of guacamole dip in a bowl or a small kiln clip jar for added effect! This snack idea is a great addition to any new years eve party.
Vegetable Crudite Platter
Put together an impressive vegetable Crudités platter that will wow everyone at your party!
Start by arranging sliced cucumbers, radishes, carrots, peppers, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes on a platter or tray then drizzle olive oil over them for added flavour and texture. Serve alongside hummus or tzatziki for dipping and you’re all set!
Crispy Potato Skins with Avocado Cream
Potato skins are always a crowd-pleaser, but why not take it up a notch with this delicious idea? Start by baking small potatoes in the oven until they’re crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Once cooled, scoop out the inside of the potato and fill it with your favourite filling and then top them off with an avocado cream sauce for an added kick of flavour.
Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries
No party is complete without something sweet! Chocolate-dipped strawberries are easy to make yet sure to impress your guests—all you need is some melted chocolate chips and fresh strawberries.
Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate then place them onto parchment paper until they cool down completely before serving.
