Snacks!!! We all love them! What are your favorites to put out to snack on while you play games or watch movies? Chex mix? Puppy chow? Cookies?
Chips and dips? Fruit?

If you have a great recipe please share it!

M & M's...nacho chips...things that don't make my fingers colorful. :) But if you guys need a quick snack and you have an Aldi's near you, they have charcuterie boards that have cheese, crackers, olives, 2 types of salamis, and chocolate covered cranberries on sale right now for $7.99. We absolutely LOVE THEM! While we don't have any holiday gatherings planned at my house this year where these would be a wonderful appetizer, they are nice to snack on throughout the day. And once again, don't get fingers all messy!

A quick dip is spread softened cream cheese in a dish and pour a jar of salsa on top. Ready for dipping with chips

Ruffles with dip, microwave popcorn, and trail mixes (Shawn always adds stuff) are usually our go to snack items when we're watching tv.

I love cheese! And nuts, trail mix and M&Ms. Also popcorn. I have to be careful not to eat too much of any of them with my system. But I love them! :)

They love the original Chex Mix here. Also everyone loves Velveeta Queso Dip and tortilla chips. We put it in a crock pot to keep warm. Easy recipe below...

Brown 8 oz. Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage. (Makes it spicy)

Cube 16 oz. of Velveeta into a microwaveable bowl. Microwave until soft.

Stir in sausage and 10 oz. can of Original Rotel. Microwave until hot or put in crock pot.

Serve with tortilla chips.

MMMMMMMM this sounds so yummy. My daughter and I would love it. My husband not so much. he doesn't like spicy food. He also doesn't lie velvetta since it is not real cheese (UGH).
