This next game day party snack idea is such a creative and cute one!
How could I not include it?
If it wasn’t obvious, these are “fruit pizzas” using tortilla as the “bread”. It’s super fast and easy to put together. Plus it’s extremely pretty, always a plus!
For your ingredients, grab whole wheat tortilla, Nutella, strawberries, banana, and kiwifruit.
You can take some creative liberty when deciding what fruit to include, but those are what the recipe from Taste of Home recommends.
Literally all you have to do is cut your tortilla into “pizza slices,” spread your Nutella, and then arrange your fruit pieces on top.

Another classic, but one that never gets old.
Charcuterie boards are universally liked and will appeal to a wide range of party guests, making them a perfect choice if you’re struggling to decide kind of snacks to prepare.
The Pioneer Woman does a fantastic job detailing how to put together a charcuterie board like a pro and covers everything from what to include, how to organize your board, how to prepare your board’s ingredients, and more.
A top tip of hers is to start building your charcuterie board by placing larger objects on the board first and smaller objects last.
My other favorite tip from her post is to group similar foods like cheese, crackers, and meat together.
Don’t forget to include serving utensils with your board as well so your guests can actually enjoy it!
#6: Sweet ‘n’ Salty Party Mix
