Lastly, you can serve up the cream cheese with some inexpensive caviar.

Serve with your favorite crackers, and some celery sticks. Top the cream cheese with a bottle of cocktail sauce, and sprinkle the top with small cooked shrimp. An alternative is to serve a dish with whipped cream cheese alongside the pepper jelly.Ī block of cream cheese makes a great base for a shrimp cocktail inspired appetizer as well. This one goes really well with buttery crackers like Ritz, Townhouse, or Club. Use a good spreading knife as the serving tool. Place the cream cheese onto a deep serving dish and top with pepper jelly. You will need an 8 ounce block of cream cheese (or two) and a jar of pepper jelly. Next up is another ridiculously simple snack. Without a serving tool, the chips just break off in the cream cheese and frustrate your guests. I recommend using a metal spoon or a wide knife as the serving implement for this one. Served in a deep bowl nestled in the middle of a sea of tortilla chips, this is sure to please. Truth be told, I usually pour about half of the 16 ounce bottle onto the cream cheese initially, then top it off with more as it’s eaten. One of my favorites is a block of cream cheese with a jar of my favorite salsa poured over the top. The best part is that each of these begins when you plop a block of cream cheese in the center of a plate then add toppings. Each one takes about a minute to prepare and tastes delicious. In that case, put together one of these simple low to no stress snacks and put it on your buffet, or coffee table, for your guests to snack on. Did you know that New Year’s Eve is one of the two biggest party times of the year for adults?

New Year’s Eve is just around the corner.
