Kristyn’s Appetizer Tips

Dip Tips

  • Keeping dip warm: The easiest way to keep dip warm is to use a small slow cooker. They are typically 1 ½ quarts and keep the dip warm throughout. 
  • Keeping dip cold: If you are serving it in a warmer environment like an outside BBQ, then you’ll want to keep it on ice. You can place ice inside a bowl, or on a tray, then place a smaller bowl of dip on top of the ice..
  • For use with dips:
    • Savory: crackers, various vegetables, pretzels, baguette/bread slices, chips
    • Sweet: sliced fruits, cookies, cubed cake, marshmallows, pretzels

How much to serve?

  • Before a dinner: Appetizers are great to set out about an hour before the main meal will be served. Plan for guests to be able to have 3-5 pieces/servings total.
  • Appetizer only Party: For a two hour event plan to serve about 10-12 pieces per person.
  • Different Dishes: Plan to provide 2-3 different appetizer dishes for 10 or fewer guests.   
  • Chips and Salsa: Plan 1 qt salsa and 1 pound of chips for every 10 people.
  • Sweet and Savory Dips: If you are offering both types, then plan for guests to have 2 oz (¼ cup) per person.
