Help w/ideas for finger food item for 4-H program

[mickeyluv]

We have a 4-H reception on Thursday late afternoon and are asked to bring a dish (finger food type). I thought about making meatballs but I usually carry those in my crockpot and I don't want to worry about going back and picking up my crockpot. I want to do something more than pimento cheese sandwiches, etc. Can anyone help with ideas for something that's relatively easy and quick to make and doesn't require heat or refrigeration? TIA

Google No Bake Cookies. And you can find recipes there. They are made out of oatmeal, peanut butter, and cocoa.

This is the site I found. My friend makes them everytime we have a small party. Make sure you don't leave them in your car all day if its hot outside, they do melt a little bit.

Can you use heat ahead of time? I get requests to bring this to everything. There's never a scrap left! Olive Cheese bread. Yum!

Strombolis are easy to heat, wrap in foil, transport, slice and serve. I usually do a meat/cheese and a vegetable/cheese. Everyone loves them! You can even serve at room temp.

Ok, I'm currently pregnant, due today....and now I have to make that bread! We went to Target so I could walk and I bought the few ingredients I didn't have on hand. May start it in a few minutes!!

When I find myself in these situations my "go to" dish is a veggie/dip tray.

I just made it and it was good! I left out the green onions since I didn't want to buy a whole bunch of them, but still amazingly yummy. I'll probably finish off a quarter loaf by bedtime.

I would do a tray of fresh cut fruits its super simple, healthy and I find at most events you don't get many veggies or fruit. Wash and slice nicely in long wedges, melons, mangoes, pinapples, snip grapes into little bunches, whole strawberries. Just be sure to pat them dry and refrigerate for about an hour before serving. So refreshing and no cooking required.

Thanks everyone for the ideas!! Haven't decided yet but I'm leaning towards the fruit tray idea...no cooking needed. The only thing is that I'm not going to be there the entire time (it's a floating type of thing) and I'm afraid that it may need refilling from time to time. it's a 2 hour reception.
