Get buns with different stuffings inside. They look the same from outside but different inside.

pigs in blankets
mozarella sticks

It’s a fun idea, but what a lot of work to be a dinner party guest.

Piñata cake or surprise cake

Honey nut squash stuffed with bacon, sausage, dried cranberries, etc

Xiao long bao (make on site)

Soup dumplings!

Jalapeno poppers

Jelly donuts

Could you do stuffed peppers or acorn squash filked with butter and brown sugar and then replace the tops. You’d probably have to cook the tops with the edible portion and then maybe attach with toothpicks.

If you want to be ambitious, you could do chicken cordon bleu.

Fruits with peels? pomegranates?
Hard boiled eggs?

These are delicious - chocolate cookies with peanut butter filling.

Like…a calzone? Some kind of pie or pot pie? Mochi?

Spring rolls
Pierogies
empanadas
chicken pot pie type of dish

Chicken kiev. When you poke it with a fork, it reveals a hot, buttery center.

Please help me be creative about what dish to bring. The call for the dinner party is to bring food that reveals itself or has a suprise inside. Think chocolate lava cake, checkerboard cake or even roasted chestnuts. But not those three because they've already been claimed. What else can I do? Sweet or savory. Maybe no cakes ar all because a reveal covered in frosting is cheating imho.

Oh and they said it all has to be edible so no baby hidden in a king cake for example
