What Makes a Great Party Snack?

An unforgettable party snack checks all the right boxes. It should be easy to enjoy—ideally with one hand while mingling or holding a drink. It should have visual appeal, featuring vibrant colors, beautiful textures, or elegant plating. And most importantly, it should taste exceptional. Hot or cold, sweet or savory, the best snacks are the ones guests can’t help but reach for again and again.

Portion size also plays a role. Bite-sized servings help reduce waste and encourage guests to sample a wider variety of flavors. Many of our curated snack assortments—like our slider trios and savory themed baskets—are designed with this in mind. For more upscale self-service options, our hors d’oeuvres baskets are a perfect fit for cocktail hours, receptions, and standing events.

For a more substantial setup, we recommend building a platter around our Susan’s Chips & Dips—a mix of veggie chips, guacamole, pico de gallo, pita chips, and onion dip. Every item is made fresh and arranged for effortless serving. You can view these options and more on our stationary platters page.

Dip Selections That Satisfy Every Crowd

Dips are among the most versatile and crowd-pleasing snack items. Our American Hot Dips menu lets you choose two warm selections like spinach and artichoke or chili con queso, served with assorted bread wedges. For a lighter touch, try our Mediterranean Dips & Chips, featuring hummus, baba ganoush, mint feta, stuffed grape leaves, and muhammara with pita and flatbread chips. These curated assortments are part of our hors d’oeuvres basket collection, perfect for events that need elegance and variety without requiring a full sit-down meal.

Passed Snacks for a More Upscale Feel

For events where movement and mingling are part of the plan, passed hors d’oeuvres elevate the guest experience. Our catering team offers hand-passed options like mini crostini, bite-sized savory pastries, and single-serve hot snacks delivered fresh from the kitchen to your guests. This style of service keeps the energy of the event flowing while ensuring everyone enjoys something fresh and flavorful. Learn more about these curated offerings through our passed hors d’oeuvres menu built specifically for receptions and upscale cocktail events.

Beverages and Snacks: A Perfect Match

Every great snack spread becomes even better with a thoughtful beverage pairing. Whether it’s wine and cheese or soft pretzels with beer, our team helps match snacks to drinks so your spread feels intentional. Cold-pressed juices, infused waters, and sparkling mocktails pair wonderfully with lighter bites, while a full bar setup may call for bold, salty flavors that complement cocktails.

These setups are fully customizable with signage, display elements, and dietary options.
