Small NYE - what food?

I'm having 3 friends over for a really low key nye should I get some food? Chips and dip or more than that? I'm terrible at hosting haha.

Re: Small NYE - what food?

If you're having them around dinner time, I would get some heroes or pizza or something.

If it's later, I'd do some hot apps and desserts too. Either way, I'd have more food, especially if you'll all be drinking.

Re: Small NYE - what food?

I'm having the same and here is what I am having.
All apps and snacks:

Assorted frozen apps from BJ's (they make some really nice, almost gourmet ones now)

Vege/Dip tray

Salsa and Chips
Hummus and pita chips

Doritos and chips and dip

Hot clam dip (Super easy and tastes like a baked clam without the shell)

Warm Cheesy Bean dip served with Frito Scoops

Assorted Desserts from BJ's


Hot Clam dip recipe

1 stick margarine (can use butter)
2 chopped cloves garlic
2 cans minced clams
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon grated cheese
1 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon lemon juice
10 drops Tabasco sauce
Paprika (optional)

Re: Small NYE - what food?

Yeah, I'd get more.

Some ideas:

Cheese plate
Vegetable platter with dip
Pasta salad
Meat platter
Wrap platter or make your own little sandwiches for a platter

ETA: Cheese fondue is fun for a group. That's what I'm doing this evening.

Unless your friends know that you aren't doing anything, I'd be hungry if I were your guest. Sorry!

Is late night. I added baby hot dogs, Sicilian pie cut into 16 pieces for quick bites, cheese and crackers, chips and dip, and bakery cookies. Sound good?
