Good Snacks That Missed the Cut

• Kirkland Signature Italian-Style Meatballs: Delicious but better suited for pasta dishes than finger food.
• Phillips Crab Cake Minis: Mixed reviews; some enjoyed, others found them too heavy on filler.
• Don Lee Organic Cauliflower Bites: Crisp and tasty but lose appeal when served at room temperature.

Snacks to Avoid

• Kirkland Signature Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies: Artificial flavor that even kids didn’t enjoy.
• Realgood Foods Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeños: Thick bacon and dried-out cheese disappointed tasters.
• Petite Cuisine Mozzarella Sticks: Cheese leaks out during cooking, and the texture is rubbery.
• Royal Asia Vegetable Spring Rolls: Soggy filling and underwhelming taste.

Pro Tips for a Winning Party Spread

• Mix Hot & Cold Items: Balance heated apps with ready-to-serve options like shrimp cocktail.
• Include Dipping Sauces: Pair snacks with complementary dips to raise flavors.
