When it comes to entertaining, Sam’s Club® takes the guesswork out of what to serve guests with their vast selection of foods in bulk, perfect for feeding a crowd and staying on budget. I grew up with Sam’s Club and have been a member my entire adult life. While I always love trying new things thanks to all the tasty free samples, there have been a few tried and true products that we’ve enjoyed over the years.
I’ll admit that I have a tendency to go over board when party planning. I like to offer guests a wide variety of foods so I’ve learned over the years that it is better to have several offerings that are ready to eat or take little time to prepare. One of my favorite dessert options are these Belgian Mini Cream Puffs.
If you never tried them, they are like little bites of heaven. At just under $7, this box of 84 cream puffs will do wonders for any dessert or appetizer table without killing your budget. They come in two resealable bags so you can thaw just what you need for any celebration and keep the rest frozen. You can even set them out before guest arrive to thaw and have them cool for your entire party. (My mother-in-law has always enjoyed them slightly frozen .)
You can get creative with how you serve these mini cream puffs. I love to offer assorted sauces for dipping such as caramel, hot fudge or even pureed strawberries. If you have a small fondue pot or mini slow cooker, you could keep your sauce warm throughout your party. Consider also adding pretzels, fresh fruit, or wafer cookies to dip with your cream puffs, all of which are also available from Sam’s Club.
Other ideas include serving with ice cream, sprinkling with powdered sugar or displaying them in a fun tree shape. The possibilities are endless!
With Sam’s Club I can walk in and get numerous gourmet food ideas I know will be a hit with guests without even trying. It is just one of the many reasons I always renew my Sam’s Club membership each year.
