Chips and Guacamole

Chips and Guacamole No one willingly turns down guacamole and since you can scoop it with a chip in your fingers, it’s an ideal choice for a party. Guacamole is generally mashed avocado with tomato, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Corn chips are the perfect thing for getting it from the bowl to your mouth. Serve some salsa to for a real crowd pleasing snack.

Bacon Jalapeno Poppers

Bacon Jalapeno Poppers This is one of my favorite finger foods. I usually eat more than I should and regret it later. To make this one of a kind treat, cut a slit in several jalapenos. Remove the seeds and fill the cavity with cream cheese. Wrap each jalapeno with a half strip of bacon and grill or bake the poppers until the pepper is soft and the cheese is soft and melty.
