Basketball Party Food

Basketball party suppliesThat’s a look at some of the supplies I picked up at Target! I love serving a variety of snacks & munchies for parties – things that are easy to handle and tend to be well-liked by most people! I also like a mix of sweet & salty things. So, I bought an assortment of  RITZ® Crackers, RITZ Crisp & Thins Chips (these are SUPER tasty by the way if you haven’t had them), WHEAT THINS Snacks, OREO® Cookies, Coca-Cola® Classic, and Coca-Cola® Zero Sugar to help score a winning basket for our party! I love using the Cartwheel Offers to help save money, like the 25% off deal on many of the products I boughtRitz Crisp & ThinsThe RITZ Crisp & Thins Chips are sooo good. They’re the perfect easy snack solution to grab right out of the bowl. So that’s just what we did with those for the party! And you can’t go wrong with bacon flavor for a sports-watching party! We also served up some RITZ® Crackers and “basketball” cheese! Ritz Crackers & Basketball CheeseSO simple and so cute! All I did was cut slices of cheese with a small circle cutter and serve them up on a platter with a spread of RITZ® Crackers! The little circle cheeses are perfect for RITZ® Crackers toppers! Basketball Cheese & Crackers
