Our guests might appreciate the healthier options and admire the treats shaped like animals or sports equipment – and those all have their place! – but when it comes down to it, the ones they’ll love are the ones that take them straight back to their childhoods. Prime example? These cocktail meatballs. Not only do they only take three easy-to-find ingredients to make, they’re made in the slow cooker, freeing you up to actually spend time with family and friends instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
