<\/span><\/h2>\nAn ice cream truck will get kids excited and adults nostalgic. Guests will love having different bars and cones to choose from, especially if the selection is unique or gourmet. If self-serve meals and buffets are more your clients style, set up a make-your-own-sundae station! Think vanilla and chocolate soft serve machines, pumps of chocolate, caramel, and strawberry sauce, and all kinds of sprinkles and candy toppings. Guests can make their sundaes simple and classic or decked out and extravagant.<\/p>\n
Pro tip:<\/b> Though nuts are a popular ice cream topper, be careful of peanut allergies!<\/p>\n<\/span>Bite sized milk and cookies<\/span><\/h2>\nMilk and cookies is the kind of snack that adults and kids will both enjoy. After dinner, set out small glasses of milk with a little chocolate chip cookie balanced on top of each. Novelty servings let them eat on the go, so kids won\u2019t have to sit down and use both hands for their milk. If you want to switch it up, set out different cookie flavors!<\/p>\n
<\/span>Martini glass salads<\/span><\/h2>\nNovelty snacks can be healthy too! Salads are a great appetizer and vegetarian option. Buffet style salads are nothing new, but you can make it easier on your guests than the old \u201cbuild-it-yourself with tongs.\u201d Set out a variety of salads (think Greek, ceasar, and garden) pre-made in plastic martini glasses. Let guests drizzle their own dressing from a ladle or gravy boat so they can have their choice, but also so the salad doesn\u2019t get soggy! Guests can grab a martini glass and eat while they socialize.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Candy bar<\/span><\/h2>\nSpecial events are a great time for treats, but some clients really want to satisfy their sweet tooth. For birthday parties, kids\u2019 parties, weddings and themed events, nothing beats a candy bar. Choose trendy new sweets, popular favorites, and maybe even some vintage candies that younger guests have never tried. Customize bags and place jars with scoops or tongs along a table. Guests can \u201cpick and mix\u201d the sweets they\u2019d like, just like in a candy store.<\/p>\n

The key to great novelty snacks is to make them fun and easy. Just about any food can be transformed into a novelty for fun events. Keep track of what\u2019s trendy, research novelty food trucks or caterers in your area, or think of your own novelty ideas for your client\u2019s favorite foods. Let the snacks be part of the fun!<\/p>\n
