A campfire theme works well when horses are the focus, and whether you hold the party indoors or out, you can create a great campfire atmosphere with these party snacks and treats. Remember, to get your horse-themed tableware to keep things slightly cleaner! You may want to consider a horse themed party pack which will usually save you money on your tableware and decorations.
Start by using a chuck-wagon triangle to call the girls in for chow. If you’re eating out-of-doors, you can make burgers, veggie burgers and hot dogs on the barbecue, along with corn-on-the-cob and baked beans. If you’re indoors, grill everything in the kitchen, and set up a station where the girls can add their own condiments: mustard, mayonnaise, relish, ketchup, grated cheese, tomatoes, pickles and lettuce.
Horse Feed: If you can find little tin pails, you can fill them full of “horse-feed”: a mixture of pretzel sticks, potato chips and corn chips. Each guest will get her own little pail of horse feed. Try a craft store or order them online from amazon. If you can’t find mini pails, you can load up a big tin pail and let the girls help themselves.
Green Apple Horse Punch: Make up a batch of Green Apple Horse Punch. Mix equal parts white grape juice and green apple soda and serve in a big glass punch bowl. Float whole green apples in the bowl, and serve with a dollop of green apple sherbet.
Haystack treats: These haystack treats are very easy to make and delicious! Melt one cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips, add ½ cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy) and ½ cup peanuts. Finally, add two cups crispy chow mein noodles. When the noodles are just coated, drop by big spoonfuls onto waxed paper, and refrigerate until set.
Horseshoe cookies: Make almond crescent cookies, and serve them as “horseshoe cookies.”
