Spontaneity is a good thing, but sometimes you are trying to do something on the spur of the moment turns out to be a challenge. When you wait for last minute guests, or just to put together a planned party, is a good trick to bring up the sleeve have plenty of gourmet snacks.

With little or no time to plan, shop, or chef, to know that there are some delicious goodies ready to go in your home is a great stress reliever. There are a lot of packaged items that people often keep in their pantry. If you want to impress your guests, make sure that some of the items that are not boring or expected. Gourmet snacks, cheese snacks and nuts becomes more interesting if they are not the type you see on the shelves everywhere, or eat often.

Consider storing up the following items:

Cheese snacks: forget plain biscuits. No need to keep the cream cheese in hand. This type of cracker object gives it's own cheesy flavor. They are great on their own or perfect for toppings, which leads us to the next item to be ready.

Gourmet spreads: spreads that are in a jar has a long shelf life. Pop them open when you have only a few moments, and it's a tasty diversion from everyday. They go well with cheese snacks, but is also good on bread. Look for Sun-dried tomato spread, olive tapenade, mushroom sheds or even roasted Red Pepper topping.

Nuts: think beyond peanuts. Cans of wasabi almonds, honey cashew or even exotic mixes, gourmet snacks, which makes for quick and easy finger food.

Dried fruit: on their own, dried fruit is a little more than a healthy nibble. Mix them with nuts, or use them on a cream-cheese spread and you have some easy appetizers to pull out at the last minute. Serve dried cranberries or dried figs and suddenly cracked and cheese spread combo has gone gourmet!

A last minute event may not have the same force as you have planned for weeks in advance, it is possible to maintain without potato chips and onion dip. To ensure that your home comes with some gourmet snacks make entertaining easier. It can also help to keep people from starving if you would take the time to prepare a more elaborate dish.

Save time and effort with simple finger food can make the idea of spontaneous entertaining seem a little less daunting.
