Want to host a dinner party but don’t want to deal with all the stress that comes along with it? Then host a DIY Grilled Cheese Party!
There’s nothing better than having all of your loved ones around the table, but hosting can be stressful; timing everything just right, and preparing something that everyone likes is just not an easy feat. That’s why throwing one of these parties is so great. All you have to do is buy the proper ingredients and tools and invite your friends over for a super fun night. Having them assemble their own sandwiches from the spread that you create is not only fun and interactive but it will also have your guests battling over who made the best sandwich – and that can be pretty entertaining to watch.
For a “Sweet Tooth Soirée,” put together this spread of dessert-worthy ingredients and let your guests build their own creations. For those who need a little guidance, suggest this recipe for Wisconsin Brie Grilled Cheese with Strawberries and Honey. They won’t be sorry.
