How To Make party appetizers (easy peasy)

  • 1
    *NOTE* not all of these ingredients are going to go in the same container.
  • 2
    Place the Spanish peanuts, mixed nuts, pickles, pearl onions, black olives, and green olives in their own separate serving containers, be it in a pretty sectioned party tray, bowls, etc...
  • 3
    Place the cream cheese on a paper plate or pretty plate, something with a slight raised edge, so the sauce doesn't make a mess. Pour the entire bottle of Pickapeppa sauce over it, and serve with Ritz crackers, spreading a sleeve or two around the block of cream cheese attractively, and placing a butter knife near or in the dish. (spread it on the crackers and enjoy).
  • 4
    Take one pecan half, and spread the blue cheese on it, then sandwich another half on top, press down lightly so you don't break the nut, and place in a pretty dish.
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
