Halftime Snacks and Appetizers
If you are anything like me, you love easy appetizers and snacks. The ones that don’t take a ton of prep and work, but leave you feeling satisfied! Those are the types of recipes you will find below!
How Long Can Appetizers Sit Out
If your appetizers or snacks are something that is served hot or chilled you don’t want them sitting out longer than two hours.
The USDA recommends to throw out any food that is out at room temperature pasted that timeframe. As it can become a breeding ground for bacteria to grow.
Now if you have a snack mix that doesn’t need refrigeration or say chips, those can stay sitting out. This pertains to food that has been cooked or needs to stay refrigerated.
What Can I Serve As An Appetizer
You will find a nice selection of appetizer style foods below. I love picking and choosing a mix of dishes to serve. I look for different texture options like dips paired with slider sandwiches, etc. This always helps look like your appetizers and snacks offer more variety.
How Many Appetizers Do I Make
This answer is a little give and take. Generally, if you have a few people over you can get away with making less.
8-10 guests, you can make 3-4 appetizers and snacks. 10-15 you might do 6-8 appetizers. The biggest thing is to look at the amount the appetizer or snack makes. Then break that down into how many servings there might be. To help gauge.
If you plan to serve the main meal like chili or something else, you can make fewer appetizers and snacks that cause your guests to get a full meal. So keep that in mind as well.
Appetizers And Snacks On A Budget
If you are on a budget I get it! Look for affordable recipes from the list below that are easy and affordable to make. Then what I do is pick one or more of the more expensive appetizers to pair.
So I get a nice mix of really cheap and quick options but then throw in a really nice one to up my snacking game. There is nothing wrong with trying to serve a crowd on a budget.
Give these snacks and appetizers a try below. Hopefully, they bring luck to your side as you root for your teams!
