Party food for a candy theme sweet 16?

Question

2 of my friends and i are having a sweet 16 with a "candy" theme. but we need actual food, besides candy, for people to eat. and we dont have that big of a budget, so anything cheap is good.

Answer 1

We just had our sweet 16 and had to use a caterer in order to get the hall but you can make everything yourself. We had 45 people.

We ordered a fruit tray, cheese tray, veggie tray, taco dip and chips and silver dollar sandwich rolls.

No one touchede the veggie tray. The cheese tray was 1/3 eaten. The taco tip went over great and had to be restocked twice, the fruit tray went over great, and the silver dollar rolls went over great. They were ham, turkey and beef. These are hand size and perfect and I saw the rolls for this at the grocery store.

Anyway, so if I were you I would make a small cheese tray, make a double batch or taco dip, and have a good fruit tray and make the silver dollar rolls.

These are all simple to put together.

Taco Dip:

2 softened cream cheese.

1 16oz sour cream

1 packet taco seasoning.

Mix with mixer. Put in bottom of a cookie sheet. Top with shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and green onions. Use the cheese but you can altered the rest to your taste, maybe add black olives. Make 2 of these. Serve with tostitos scoops.

Fruit bowl,.

Whole pineppple into chunks. Slice strawberries. Add whole table grapes no seeds, add chunks of watermelon, and cut oranges in slices cut into triangles. This is best made the night before so that the juices can all run together and stir before serving.

Silver dollar rolls:

It is just shaved deli meat and cheese triangles. You dont have to put lettuce on them, ours did not have it. t. The ones that we had catered just had real butter on them and they had mayo and mustard packets on ice on the side.  They were really good and hand size.

This is a sweet food if you need another, really popular with teens here in the midwest.

puppy chow:

PUPPY CHOW

6 cups Crispix cereal

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup butter

12 ounce chocolate chips

2 cups powdered sugar

Melt peanut butter, butter and chocolate chips together in the microwave or on the stove. Stir into cereal. Put powdered sugar in a paper sack. Put cereal mixture in and shake until well coated.

I hope this helps you.

Burger Bar is always fun. Have a bunch of burgers with different cheeses and toppings like bacon and onions and relishs to put on them. You could also do a Taco Bar. or just order in pizza its never fail.

Answer 5

Make finger sandwiches and other finger food. It wouldn't be expensive at all.  Chips & dip, mini sausages in bar-b-que sauce.  Meatballs with the stick pretzel to pick them up with. Anything like that would be great!
