Question Looking for ideas.
So, during these events held in the Rec Center, where we sit at tables with other; The suggestion is to bring shareable "Snacks". Anyone have any suggestions?

I like the jerky at the farmer's market so that could work.

I always bring a covered dish. When people find out it's empty, I tell them it was broiled lobster, but it went really fast.

Also, you can't go wrong with chicken wings from Publix, or chicken strips from PDQ.

Buy individual snack bags, like for kids lunches. Everyone get their own snack, that they like, and nobody reaches in a open bowl

I like this idea - no one putting their hands in a shared bowl.

popcorn, trail mix, chips, any snack will do. Not a covered dish..too messy ( plates, napkins, utensils needed) and needs to be heated/reheated

I usually bring something I would like to eat! It could be a dessert or an appetizer. Could be chips/dip. Also bring your own drinks.
