    5 Stars Party Nibbles 07/03/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy. Tasty. Simple

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cleaning up after

    As I enjoy throwing my little party get- togethers with my friends and family, I always make party nibbles for people to snack on during the night. To what I cook it depends on what type of party we’re having, but I normally stick to the basic just to make it easy for me! There are so many convenient party foods now it’s rather easy just to pop your local supermarket’s freezer section, but if you take the time to read their ingredients list you would be shocked what goes into some of them. So in many ways it’s healthier for you to buy the basics and cook. In my eyes party food is what you make ... more

    5 Stars Let's Get This Party Started!! 24/02/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages new ideas, impress your guests, have plenty, tastes good!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages takes time to prepare!

    Party, party, party, who does not like a little bit of partying here and there. Every time we throw a party in my family either a birthday, house, summer, Christmas or an anniversary party we always make sure we have some foods. A party wouldn't really be a huge party without food. If your party does not have food you would be lucky if you find me there to be honest. A lot of people only go to the parties if they hear the word food, because you do need to cover all those calories you lose via dancing on the party. A lot of the times, I go to parties to see the types of foods they might have ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great for parties and very entertaining

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Really hard to clean but this will make alot of people happy

    I love having parties and especially making the food, but now that you can get chocolate machines from the shops its just something else to add to my big buffet table. I've got a single chocolate machine and a duo machine and both hardly get used unless I just get it out for the pleasure and enjoyment of chocolate. When I use it I get milk chocolate and white chocolate on the duo machine with lots of bits to dip such as: Marshmallows Doughnuts Banana's Pinea pple Cherry's Orange segments Melon Mango Strawberries Grapes Fudge Toffee Pink wafers Mini muffins Flapjacks Jelly babies Flying saucers ... more
