My prerequisites:
- The food must be portable. Nothing worse than struggling to balance food with a drink at a cocktail party.
- The food must be non-messy. This is not the time for a trifle or big slices of pie.
- The food must be relatively bite-size. One or two bites max. Allows for maximum sampling.
1. Food Network key_lime tarts, 2. Casa Sugar macaroons, 3. Cooking Light linzer cookies, 4. Amy Atlas Popcorn Cones, 5. Grove Park Inn chocolate_fondue, 6. Martha Stewart cherries
