[quote=Anonymous]Pigs in blankets - I make my own.  One roll of croissants makes 40, one small supermarket package of Hillshire Farms beef l'il smokies is about 35.  If you have a Sam's club membership they have big packages of the L'il smokies that have 80 per package, just right for two rolls of croissants.  Take two triangle croissants, pinch the diagonal together and cut into 10 pieces, 5x2.  Roll each precooked lil smokie in a piece, bake according to croissant wrapper.  When taking them somewhere, I bake them for about 10-12 minutes.  Just before serving, I put them in a 375 oven for about 5 minutes to warm up and serve.  They heat up well in a toaster oven.

Chorizo bites - I take chorizo sausage, take it out of the casings, brown the meat breaking it up into small crumbles.  I put a small spoonful into a Scoops corn chip, a sprinkle of finely grated cheddar cheese and bake until the cheese melts.  If taking somewhere, make the meat mixture, cool in the fridge.  Then put into the scoops and add the cheese.  Transport.  When you get there, put them in the toaster oven or oven for just a few minutes until the cheese melts and the sausage heats and serve.

Bagel Chips with lox - These don't last long, so you have to assemble on site.  Precut salmon lox (smoked salmon) into chip-size pieces.  When you arrive, put bagel chips onto a plate, smear a small amount of whipped cream cheese on each chip, put one bite of salmon lox onto the chip.  Serve.  It takes about 2-4 minutes to prep these when you arrive.

I have a mini 2-cup crock pot.  I make a crab dip, heat and put in the crock pot with a little finely shredded cheddar cheese on top .  When I arrive, I plug the crock pot in and put a dish/plate of crackers or crostini next to it.  My recipe makes about 2-2.5 times what will fit in the crock pot.  When I need to refill, I just warm up the crab dip in the microwave, scoop into the crock pot and add a little more cheese on top.  I can make the crab dip the night before while the kids are sleeping and just heat in the microwave before leaving.
