Seasonal Bunco Snacks & Appetizers

The weather is cooling down so that means that food for Bunco games is heating up. There is nothing like hot, delicious food such as dips to share at Bunco. I live in the Southwest, so in the summer I try to avoid using the oven. Now that the temps are in the mid 70s here it is time to make some comfort food. One of my favorite resources for delicious Bunco snacks and appetizers is The Bunko Junkie Appetizer Book. With 150 delicious appetizers, it is your one stop for finding a yummy food item to take to your next Bunco game. Below is the recipe for one of my favorite appetizers from the book, Appetizer Surprise. It is a creamy artichoke dip with lots of Parmesan cheese. **Appetizer Surprise** [](http://blog.buncogameshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/20131107_120246.jpg) 14 ounces Can artichoke hearts 1 cup Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup Mayonnaise 1/2 cup Sour cream 8 ounces Cream cheese Garlic salt to taste Dill weed to taste Paprika Drain and chop artichoke hearts finely and set aside.
