Dark Chocolate Peanut Clusters
P Is for Party
I was reading a design magazine recently and saw a party planning feature. The woman was talking about how you don’t need to know how to cook (even a lick), but you can still have a cocktail party.
She said all you need are the 3 Ps.
Parmesan, potato chips and prosecco.
That’s it.
Her idea was that you go out and buy a really fine piece of Parmesan Reggiano.
Put it on a nice platter. Cut some bits off of it with a cheese cutter. And leave the cheese cutter next to it so people can serve themselves.
Get out some pretty, small bowls and stack them with potato chips. Her idea was to prop the potato chips upright. Then sprinkle something on them. One idea might be a grating of pepper. Another idea could be Italian herbs or even a rub mixture.
Then serve prosecco in some pretty flutes and there you have it. Cocktail party.
I “borrowed” that idea and expanded on it...
