Need some ideas!! We are having a party in a park, we are having a sausage sizzle and cake, but need some other nibbley/snacky foods, many for adults, but some things for kids too. It is going to be hot, so nothing that will melt, go bad, or get warm. Beyond chips, lollies and fruit platter I'm stumped! Any ideas appreciated!

Also how many sausages do you think? 2 per person? Figuring some will have one and some more?

I would consider things like savoury mini muffins - something that has cheese and bacon etc in it Pizza pinwheels popcorn fairybread erm that's all i can think of for now. hope it goes well ETA - as for the sausages yes I'd say 2 per person - or maybe 2 per adult 1 per child?

Our standby party food is: Popcorn Fruit Platter Homemade Muffins Homemade Pancakes which I butter and decorate with natural sprinkles instead of fairy bread! Also - you could have a fun mix your own muesli activity with different types of nuts, dried fruit, oats etc. and cute boxes to fill the muesli in! Enjoy!
