We bought pigs in a blanket at Costco before and they just have to be heated in the oven - they were really good and a perfect appetizer. We've also bought the little mini spinach puffs there and those went over well too. Easy to make and tastes good.

sis you get a fondue pot? When i host holiday parties i always put out chocolate fondue for dessert with fresh fruit, pretzels, pound cake, marshmellows, etc
Yelley, I got a fondue pot at my shower LAST YEAR and have yet to use it. Can I just buy any chocolate to melt in it? Someone told me I had to buy some specific chocolate and I never found it, so I haven't used it yet!!!
It's super easy. You can look up all sorts of fondue dessert recipes (if you are looking for something other than chocolate, or a variation of chocolate)
1. Break chocolate squares into smaller pieces and drop them into the fondue pot.
2. Add cream (which will prevent the chocolate from going lumpy) and stir gently but constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
3. Add vanilla extract, and stir it in.
4. Use a fondue fork to spear the fruit, then dip it in the chocolate. Enjoy!
For some other variations on a basic chocolate fondue recipe, add: - some chopped nuts: pecans, almonds, walnuts, and hazelnuts all work well. - a tablespoon of instant coffee granules or cappuccino - your favorite syrup flavor
oooh YAY! Thanks!

it's the best. i don't like regular eggnog but LOVE coquito. I had it years ago when one of the secretaries used to bring it into work; she gave us the recipe. then last christmas day I went to DH's aunt's house in the bronx and they busted out a bottle of coquito from the freezer that they said had been 'fermenting' for a long time.... it knocked me on my as$! but SO good.

I love the way you said 'busted out...' I'm sure it did knock you on your as$!
