Tips for Serving Snacks and Sandwiches

Remember to always serve cold food cold and hot food hot. Nothing is worse than serving your guests food at the wrong temperature.
To keep sandwiches fresh you can wrap them in clear plastic wrap or foil and refridgerate until time to eat.
Add lettuce and tomato just before serving.
Most sandwiches are made from things you have on hand so go ahead and make your very on special sandwich to serve.
Don't pile too many sandwiches on a plate or tray in order to keep them from getting soggy and falling over or coming apart.
Be sure and have enough sandwiches and snacks for your guests. Find out how many people will actually be eating and make the appropriate amount of food. If you have too much at the end of the gathering you can send it home with your guests and keep some for yourself the next day.
Just remember no matter what the outcome of the game your family and friends will declare you the winner after tasting these super snacks.

Fudge

Ingredients
2 cups almond butter
1/4 cup carob powder, sifted to remove any lumps
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons liquid honey
1 heaping tablespoon coconut oil, melted (optional)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon sea salt
Description
This is for fudge and brownie lovers out there who want to enjoy their decadent squares and still respect themselves in the morning.
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix until well incorporated.
Spoon the mixture into a pan and flatten with the back of a spoon. Place in the freezer for an hour or so then take it out to cut into bite-size squares or rectangles. Transfer the pieces onto a plate. Keep these covered and stored in the freezer.
An alternative is to spoon the mixture into candy molds; pop them out when they are thoroughly frozen. They have a chewy texture when frozen.
These must be kept in the freezer otherwise they will become soft and mushy, to the consistency they were at before freezing. So if you take them out to eat, eat them quickly! Also keep this in mind when cutting the fudge; work quickly.
Note
Although this fudge is made with all-natural ingredients, it is best to eat only one or two small pieces at a time, as eating honey-rich foods can stress one's blood sugar-regulating mechanisms.
