Minnie Mouse Birthday~ what to serve

We don't typically serve a meal for Gretchen's birthday parties, but I do try to find some cute finger foods or snacks that I can add along with the cake. I searched the internet over the last few weeks and found some fabulous food ideas! I don't know how anyone planned a party without the internet! Above: Oreo Truffles on a stick with marshmallow ears. I've made these oreo truffles before- you can find the recipe here. But, these truffles take it a step further, by using minature marshmallows and placing it all on a stick- when I read about these, the blogger, did point out that you need to put the stick in and then place them in the freezer to harden. You'll also have to attach the marshmallows with melted chocolate, or with tiny toothpicks- just make sure your guests know they are in there!

I'm going to have to link these, because I can't even begin to explain how to make them! But, how adorable are these chocolate-caramel dipped apples! I'd love to serve these at Gretchen's party, but I know that they are way too difficult for my culinary (or lack there-of) skills!

I found these adorable oreo pops from a seller on Etsy! I'm actually going to attempt these- as they seemed pretty simple. You simply open the oreo, scoop out a bit of filling, and place the stick, and then top with the second oreo. Then, you attach minature marshmallows to the top, and dip the entire thing into melted chocolate. The bow is just piped royal icing.

I also found these adorable rice kripsy treats on Etsy! Again, these are beyond my culinary skills- but, here's the link so you could buy them on your own!

Along with the oreo suckers, I'm going to serve Mickey Mouse shaped cheese (that you can find at Wal-Mart) with crackers, and chocolate zebra striped dipped pretzels.
