Mac 'n Cheese quesadillas: mix up a batch of good old Kraft Macaroni and Cheese dinner and layer it into tortillas. Fold over and bake in oven for ten minutes at 350 degrees. Cut into small triangles or wedges and serve to your guest brood. They'll be begging for more of these.
Mini pizzas: get mini bagels from the store (or English muffins) and spoon jarred spaghetti sauce over the surface. Cover amply with shredded cheese and bake in the oven until the cheese is bubbling. Kids love pizza more than television, it seems, so they'll be grabbing these throughout the party. Don't both putting too much else on the pizzas as kids don't always go for the vegetables or the pepperoni. Keep it simple.
Chicken nugget bites: kids adore chicken nuggets and will come back over and over for more. Serve with a side of ketchup (their universal sauce), barbecue sauce, or really mix things up and place a bowl of Ranch dressing. Have toothpicks available for dipping.
Sliders or mini hamburgers: these are great for any occasion to keep little hands full, but they're especially good for parties because they're filling and can get kids involved in dressing the bun. Grill up small patties and top with cheese and ketchup. Toss one pickle on top before closing up with the bun. Serve a bowl of hearty potato chips on the side and you'll see smiles for miles.
Pigs in a blanket: a traditional favorite of kids are a mini hot dog inside a biscuit wrap. Purchased Lil' Smokies sausages at the store as well as canned biscuit dough. Half each individual biscuit and roll a sausage into the center, completely wrapping the dough around it. Bake in the oven according to the directions on the biscuit packaging. They'll be very hot after cooking, so make sure they cool properly before serving to your younger guests.
These recipes are great for a kid's party, or even you’re next family reunion, a holiday party, or a baby shower.
