Not sure what you are looking for in the way of snacks or for adults or kids, but with some minor prep these can be made, frozen and pulled out at will. Cheesy dog bites can be frozen ahead 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon Hungarian sweet paprika (use whatever) 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 pound (2 cups) shredded cheddar cheese 1 stick (1/2 cup or 8 Tablespoons) very cold butter, cut into small cubes 5 weiners (hot dogs), each cut into 10 equal slices Whisk together salt, paprika, and flour. Set aside. Place the cheddar cheese and butter in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. With machine running, slowly pour the flour mixture down the feed chute and stop as soon as the mixture is combined. Do not over-process. Take about 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture, press it around each weiner slice, and roll into a ball shape. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all of the weiner slices. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. The appetizers may be frozen on a cookie sheet, uncovered, at this point. Once frozen, place in a zip-top bag, squeeze out all the air, and seal. Let them thaw slowly in the refrigerator before baking. They should be cold when they go into the oven, but not frozen. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Bake cheese weiner bites in preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Yield: 50 appetizers Recipe: Little pizzas easy and freezable Two loaves cocktail or party rye bread Brown and drain One pound pork sausage hot or mild One pound lean ground beef One small onion chopped Add until melted One pound shredded velveeta cheese Spread cheese mixture on bread Top with 1 teaspoon tomato sauce (will take about 8 ounces) Mix together Eight ounces shredded mozzarella cheese Three teaspoons oregano Sprinkle on top of tomato sauce Freeze on cookie sheet, then bag in ziplock bags. When ready to serve; keep frozen, bake at 250 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese melts.
