party snack ideas, from our home to yours. Cheese
balls are always a favorite at the Holiday parties where you work.
Also try some Chinese Chicken Wings or party appetizers, and I will be adding more as I run across the recipes in my old recipe books.
There is one appetizer in particular that is a meatball in grape jelly recipe that is so good! I've got to find it! Also see Crispix Cereal Recipes

Recipe from a 1974 Family Circle
Cookbook
Sombrero Snacks (Recipe from 1974)
2 ounces Cheddar
Cheese
1 mild chili pepper, diced
24 taco flavored tortilla chips
Bean
dip
Cut cheese into 24 pieces. Arrange tortilla chips on a baking sheet. Place 1 teaspoon bean dip on each chip, and top with cheese and chili pepper. Place 4 to 6 inches from the broiler; broil until cheese begins to melt.
Note: My own version is similar to the above recipe: Arrange tortilla chips on a shallow baking sheet, top each chip with a 1/2 teaspoon of salsa, top with grated cheddar cheese, put in a 350 oven till the cheese melts. Most of the time I make this quick snack in the toaster oven.
