Ok, ok, I’ll go first.

Alouette Spreadable Cheese: Spinach Artichoke & Carr’s Cheese Melts Crackers

Do your worst!

I’m serious, people. If you put this on your finger-food table during the Holidays, you will save marriages, you will inspire poetry, you will win over your mother-in-law.

Maybe I should’ve put this in MPSIMS… :frowning:

Major Gray’s Chutney and Cool Ranch Doritos.

Well, two ingredients doesn’t leave room for much.

Two of my current favourites:

Goat Brie on Hard Crust Peasant Bread (homemade)

Sandwich Bread and Anchovies.

oh, and Nutella on Toasted Pumpernickel.
Give me 4 ingredients, though, and I can start getting more creative than putting something already prepared on top of something else already prepared.

How about a mexican tortilla with cream cheese, honey and raisins. That’s more creative and just as simple.

We have to build a devoted fanbase first, then we’ll start pulling out the big guns. :smiley:

Can of chili and bag of fritos.

Bacon and anything else

Spicy dill pickle slices between slices of Havarti cheese. Imagine a sandwich where the bread is the cheese, and the meat is the pickle!

Or just wrap the cheese around the whole pickle if you are in to that sorta thing.

8 oz block of cream cheese softened, mixed well with a
9 oz jar of marshmallow fluff

Dip fruit into this delicious mixture from heaven. Strawberries, bananas, grapes, apples, kiwi, orange sections…mmmmmmmmm!

A block of cream cheese with a jar of pepper jelly dumped over it.

I made a quick dip of bacon salt and sour cream.

Apple slices with peanut butter or cheese.

Not that it’s a mystery or anything, but Rotel and Velveeta seems to go over well most places.

Peanuts and beer are a perrenial hit at my house too, but I watch a lot of baseball too.

Celery and a jar of crunchy peanut butter.

Marshmallow cream on graham crackers.

Steak and potatoes :slight_smile:

Plums and cheese spread (preferably sharp.) Same idea as pie with cheddar on top – tart sweetness combined with sharp fat yumminess.

A block of cream cheese with a bottle of Pickapeppa Sauce dumped over it.

I remember the first time one of my aunts set this combination out with assorted crackers. We were all huddled around the table moaning, “Manna! Manna from Heaven!”

slice of mortadella
slice of provolone
roll into a tube

Whole soft French cheese in a wooden box. Remove any plastic or paper, score an X in the top rind, put back in the box and throw in the oven for half an hour. Peel back the rind and dip chunks of stale bread into its melty goodness.
