So my little sister isn't so little anymore. :( She got married this July. I am so excited and happy for her and her hubby, but it is just weird to think of her as a married woman! She is still supposed to be the little girl who always tried to tag along with me and would drive me nuts, but I would love her anyways! LOL!
Today, I wanted to share with you a little bit about her Bachelorette Party. It was a really fun night! VERY CLEAN and VERY FUN!
We started the evening out by having snacks and getting to know each other. The girls invited were from two totally different groups, her work friends and church friends.
What I want to share the most about is the food. If you have been on Pinterest lately, you might have noticed that a popular trend is foods that don't need to put on a skewer being put on a skewer for fun and for a nice presentation. So that was our theme. Foods on skewer sticks.
We made meatballs, fruit kabobs and fruit dip, veggie kabobs, pickle wraps, sandwiches, and rice krispie bars.
The things that I made I have included recipes below:
Fruit Kabobs and Dip:
Obviously you can put whatever kind of fruit on the skewer stick. I did watermelon, green grapes, red grapes, pineapple, honeydew melon, and cantaloupe. Who doesn't love fruit?! But when you pair it with this super simple and amazingly tasting fruit dip, fruit is taken to a whole new level!
All you need to do for the fruit dip is mix one jar of Marshmallow Cream (7 oz) and one tub of strawberry cream cheese (8 oz). It is really sticky at first when you begin to mix, but just keep going. It works best to let the cream cheese get kind of warm, it mixes better this way and you get less clumps.
Pickle Wraps:
These do not need to be put on skewers, but in keeping with the them, I obviously did. This is not a picture of mine, I use more ham than this, but it gives you an idea!
Items needed:
2 packs of square ham lunch meat
2 jars of Claussen pickles (these really are the best kind to use!)
1-2 packs of regular cream cheese
1. Take two pieces of ham and dry them off with a paper towel.
2. Spread one piece with cream cheese (fairly thin) then slightly over lap the next piece of ham and spread with cream cheese.
3. Dry off a pickle with a paper towel and lay on the edge of the ham and roll it up.
4. Complete three or four pickle rolls and then place the the freezer for about a half hour. They cut much easier this way!
5. Continue making more wraps and place in freezer.
6. Cut the rolls into 1/2 inch slices.
These are really easy to do, just a little time consuming with the freezer time.
Rice Krispies:
Make a pan of Rice Krispies as directed on the box.
Once they have set, cut them into 2 by 2 inch squares.
Place each square upright on a skewer. I used a half of a skewer.
Melt chocolate in the microwave. Used a little more than a bag of chocolate chips. Dip the end of the rice krispie bar in the chocolate and put on a piece of wax paper.
Once you have the bar on the wax paper, tilt it a little big sideways in all directions and shake on sprinkles. Let dry.
We also played some games, hung out and just had a fun time hanging out with the bride to be! :)
