I'm seeing everywhere "check out these easy snack ideas for the holidays" so I thought I'd jump right up on the bandwagon. You've probably heard of/eaten these babies before, but they're something I love dearly and make for nearly all of my family's holiday get-togethers: pickle wraps. They're the simple mix of ham, cream cheese and pickles. Lay down a piece of ham (I prefer honey ham rectangles), smother it in cream cheese then roll it around a pickle. Cut into bite-sized pieces and enjoy! An interesting take on this recipe is the pickle wrap dip, which is also a family favorite. Take 2 cups of sour cream, 2 cups of cream cheese, about a pound of ham and a jar of pickles. Finely slice the ham and pickles and mix it all together. Serve with crackers, chips, etc.
Another fun snack is the classic chocolate-covered pretzels. Remember to melt the chocolate with a double-boiling pan because nothing else really works. Chocolate chips work best for these because they melt the fastest and smoothest. White chocolate and butterscotch tend to lump even after melting (though that's never stopped me). Topping ideas include sprinkles, nuts, coconut, candy pieces, and more!
