Depending on the type of people they are... Fairy bread? Butter a loaf of bread sprinkle with hundreds and thousands. Easy and yummy and I doubt anyone else would do it (I would but I'm lazy and cant cook)

Thanks - so many great idea. I am leaning towards the pizza scrolls or mini quiche's, but keep the ideas coming. I am going to my neice's birthday tomorrow, and might do some other the other suggestions for that.

I do my pizza scrolls with a scone dough rather than puff pastry as I find it is nicer the next day and cold - whereas pastry tends to be a bit soggy.

Digressing, but speaking of scone dough I have a recipe here that is basically scone dough with a couple spoonfuls of sugar in and you make cinnamon scrolls with it, so like pizza scrolls but with melted butter with cinnamon/nutmeg/cloves/sultanas/currents in it.

Very very nice, but more dessert than dinner

We've spent most of this year trying out new recipes off teh intarwebs, some have been really really nice

[lilima]

Ohh - Can someone give me a good scone dough recipe that you know works properly. I might do with scone dough instead of puff pastry. The cinnamon scrolls sound delish!

[Floweryfields]

Here you go:
2 cups SR flour
pinch salt
3/4 cup milk
1 tab butter

(I use powdered milk - about a tablespoon and use 3/4 cup water)
Rub butter into flour (and milk powder if you use that) and salt
Cut in milk until a smooth consistency.

Then I just roll out into a rectangle, add my toppings, roll up and slice and put onto tray. I usually sprinkle a bit of extra cheese over the top before baking.

Spinach & ricotta dip in a cob loaf, there's a recipe on the taste website. I have it somewhere here if you can find it. It's really easy to make. Just make up the dip the night before & store in a container in the fridge & transfer the dip to the cob loaf when you get to the party

I never think to make pizza scrolls, sounds so easy, I'm going to make a big batch and freeze them!
(Sorry had nothing to contribute, everyone has mentioned my ideas already.. just wanted to add in my appreciation lol)
