Ame E. Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I am the refreshment coordinator for a youth orchestra. This year we cannot have anything homemade per department of health and no perishables... Besides Hershey's kisses and oreos, can anyone think of anything healthy or snacky to eat after the concert? I thought of cookies, prepackaged cupcakes, individual packages of gold fish, raisins, hershey's kisses, snack packs of pretzels and potato chips.. NOT very festive... If you have any ideas, please post. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Do you have access to an approved kitchen so you could bake something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Costco sells boxes of single-serving packages of freeze dried fruit; apples, cinnamon apples, and strawberry, I think, were in the box we got. They're quite good, though probably pretty expensive if you're feeding an entire orchestra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabeline Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Granola bars, fruit snacks, cereal? Sorry, none of those are very festive. Candy canes can be decorated really cute for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelsior! Academy Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Trail mix. You would have to check for nut allergies first. Dried fruit. How do you do not perishable? That means no cheese, dairy, fresh foods? What kind of cockamamie rule is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigger Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Dricoll's makes cups (pre-packed) of blueberries; Dole has a variety of water packed fruits (peaches, pears, etc.); other companies are making bags of sliced apples and you can buy individual caramel to dip if you wanted that too. Dried fruits (raisins, crasins, etc.), trail mix bags, nuts and seeds, cheese and crackers also come individually packed.....so do the things that I, as a parent, would prefer my kid not be given (candy, cookies, chips). There may also be the option to buy a pre-packed fruit & cheese tray at the grocery store since it'll be opened and consumed in the same place; you might want to consider crackers and individual packets of nut butters too? A lot of supermarkets now make catering trays that I think also qualify - things like wraps cut in rolls or hot appetizers like mini egg rolls?
