Germ-Free Serving Ideas for Parties: Here's a Fun & Safe Way to Serve Guacamole or Other Party Dips Entertaining

Having a family get-together or party, and afraid people will double dip? The struggle against spreading germs is real. Instead of serving a large bowl of guacamole, before the party scoop the guacamole or other dips into individual shot glasses. The advantages?

• Extras can be kept fresh and chilling in the fridge.

• Instead of congregating around the appetizer table, guests can put one on their plate so they're free to walk around and mingle.

• The filled guac shot glasses look adorable and festive on your table.

• No double dipping!

• Guests tend to eat less if dips are served individually.

• Have guests that don't like things spicy and others that say the hotter the better? You can make half the guacamole without the jalapeno. Be sure to put a slice of jalapeno on top so guests know the difference.

• If you want really easy cleanup and even fewer germs spreading, purchase plastic shot glasses and just toss in the garbage after use.

• Packs of shot glasses are inexpensive and can be used throughout the year. Use them for mini desserts during the holidays or actual alcohol shots at adult parties.

• Salsas, ranch or other dips, mixed nuts and other party foods could also be served in shot glasses.
