Wedding season is approaching, which means that some people are in the midst of planning bridal showers and engagement parties (not to mention bachelor/bachelorette parties). With so many events to plan now that we are slowly being able to safely gather, it can be easy to run out of ideas for food. Some people think that making the food is the best part of planning, while others would rather invest their energy in thinking of entertainment. Either way, we all want our guests to be happy (and what better way than with food?!). If you’re planning a shower and have a long “to-do” list, here are some treats you can make by simply combining ready-made foods (no oven involved). Even with the minimal effort, these recipes are a guaranteed hit.
