I entertain at home quite a bit. As my friends know my house may not always be spotless, but there will always be great food and drinks. What they may not know is that I don’t spend a lot of time making party snacks, it just looks like I do.

My one secret weapon for easy party snacks is using New York Style Bagel Crisps to make tasty treats. I basically just open my fridge and see what delicious toppings I can make from what I have on hand. When I made these snacks I just pulled a variety of items from the fridge. I wasn’t sure exactly what I would make, but at least I knew what I had to work with. I’m a firm believer in keeping entertaining easy and using what is on hand is the best way to do that.

First snack: Spread plain New York Bagel Crisps with feta dip and drizzle with honey.

Second snack: Add hummus to the top of plain bagel crisps is a delicious, easy way to serve hummus to your guests.

Third snack: Cook bacon until extra crispy, crumble then add to cream cheese. Spread on New York Style bagel crisps and top with either chopped cherries or roasted red peppers.

In addition to the above tasty treats you can also top with summer sausage and aged white cheddar (my fave).

There are also a variety of flavored bagel crisps that are perfect for snacking on without any toppings. I just place the mini crisps in bowls around the party area. Make sure to have napkins near each food area for your guests to use.
