    If you are hosting a party and want to make it extra special be sure to check out these fun party recipes. You'll find fun appetizers that can be made for a weekend get together, a game night, or special event like an Academy Award party.

    At Hungry Happenings, I develop so many recipes that are geared toward holidays that you might think that's all I do. Fortunately, I do find time to also create fun party food recipes that are perfect for any time you have a gathering at your house.

    In this section, you will find everyday appetizers that are great for those nights when you have friends over just to chill or play games. You'll also find some ideas for snacks that are perfect for a movie night or an Oscar party.

    The Teriyaki Shrimp Dip Served with Crispy Won Ton Chips is so amazingly good that you could even just make it for dinner. So is the Skillet Spinach Pizza Dip loaded with Chicken, Bacon, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes? It's actually one of my absolute favorite appetizers. I love that you can break off the puffs of bread and dip them into the cheesy center.

    If you love hosting game night, have some fun creating game night-themed desserts and snacks like the Chicken Dip Dice and the Fruit Pizza Playing Card.

    Hosting a fiesta? Why not make Chicken and Cheese Enchilada Bowls?  everyone will love them.

    Click through all the links below to find detailed instructions on making fun party recipes that will impress your guests whether you are getting together with friends this weekend or are hosting an elaborate Academy Award party.
