Christmas Party Food Ideas

[Gryff]

It really is easy to make ive now got it down to a fine art
I use my large Dutch oven rather than a deep fryer and Panko bread crumbs makes it much crisper
I buy tail on shrimp from either Costco or the Chinese supermarket but you can use jumbo shrimp

A friend of mine used to make sticky cocktail sausages.

Cook cocktail sausage in oven 180 fan for 10-15 mins. When done add a couple tablespoons of honey and some sesame seeds. Nice hot or cold. There are variations of this on google. Very tasty.

I do a version of sticky cocktail sausages as well

Mine are basically cocktail sausages wrapped in maple smoked streaky bacon if I can find it if not smoked streaky and sprinkle with brown sugar put in a preheated oven 180 in a fan oven untill they a golden drain on kitchen paper
If I have maple syrup I drizzle that over instead of sugar

Some great ideas here. My DS is gluten free and it is so difficult to find shop-bought GF party food.

Your board looks really professional 😍

I find a nice dish and fill it with Philadelphia cheese and pour sweet chilli sauce over it…if I feel like making an effort I might make a hot crab dip to go with it (keep it warm in one of those fondue things I have hidden in a cupboard) then find another nice plate to arrange some crackers/bread!

That is one of my most favourite dips. 😍 In Australia Philadelphia makes a ‘sweet chilli philly’ and we would always have that with jatz crackers (basically a ritz cracker).

Hot crab dip sounds fab too. 😁
