Make Ahead Appetizers

Prepping ahead is the secret to actually enjoying your own party instead of being stuck in the kitchen all night. Everything in this collection can be made a day (or more) ahead of time, so all that’s left is setting it out.

Cheese Ring and Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball both hold up beautifully in the fridge, so you can shape them early and forget about them until it’s time to serve. Restaurant Style Salsa actually tastes better after a day to sit, and Dill Pickle Deviled Eggs are always ready to go the moment your first guest walks in.
