Hungry Girl's Top 8 Guilt-Free Party Foods

Hungry Girl's got the very best in bash-worthy bites! Check out these guilt-free snacks... 

1.  Morningstar Farms Buffalo Wings - These veggie wings have less than one-third the fat of real ones, but they taste just as good. Wow your party guests by serving these suckers with celery sticks and some low-cal blue cheese or ranch dressing. BTW, you can find these in the freezer aisle near the veggie burgers.
 
2. Guiltless Gourmet Tortilla Chips - Beauteous baked chips that come in a gazillion varieties (from cheesy Mucho Nacho to spicy Chipotle) will make everyone stand up and cheer -- or at least stuff their faces happily while thanking you! These have barely any fat but are packed with flavor. If your party's a game-day celebration, you can even serve 'em in team colors (cute!).
 
3. HG's De-Pudged Pigs in a Blanket - Who doesn't love adorable little hotdogs snuggled up inside doughy blankets? And while the average porkers pack in around 75 calories and 5 fat grams each, these are guilt-free and super-easy to make (only 2 ingredients!).

4. Lean Cuisine Brick Oven Style Pizza - Whether your shindig is fancy schmancy or super-low-key, bite-sized pizza squares will fit right in! Just cook up a few of these crispy, freezer-aisle, four-sided pies, and then slice each one into 9 squares. Each mini pizza will have 35 - 40 calories and less than a gram of fat. Go with Roasted Garlic Chicken, BBQ Recipe Chicken, or the Gourmet Mushroom -- they're all major tongue-pleasers!
 
5. HG's Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge - Time for a sweet treat! HG's ooey-gooey good PB fudge always goes fast at parties. And with just 63 calories and 1 fat gram per fudgy square, these things are reason enough to throw a bash! FYI, even if you make 'em with reduced-fat peanut butter instead of our low-fat find, each piece will have just 65 calories and 1g fat! Woohoo!

6. The Snack Factory Deli Style Pretzel Crisps - Plain old pretzels are pretty boring, but these twisted snacks are anything but. They're flat, crispy, and crazy delicious. Best of all, they'll please both serious snackers (the wild flavors include Honey Mustard & Onion and Buffalo Wing!) and calorie-counters (only 110 cals per ounce, and most flavors are fat-free). Score!

 

7. Rice Krispies Treats, Original - No need to get messy in the kitchen to serve up this classic kid fave. Kellogg's sells the bars pre-made, and each one has only 90 fat-free calories! If you want to get extra-creative, top each one with a tablespoon of Smucker's Sugar Free Strawberry Preserves. Talk about a fun 100-calorie snack!
 
8. HG's Jalapeno Swappers
- People love spicy stuffed peppers with crunchy coating that are oozing creamy cheese filling (this much we know). And with our slimmed-down recipe, you can chomp on five poppers for just 124 calories and 1g fat! Typical poppers pack in 305 calories and more than 20 fat grams for the same size serving. Your party guests will never guess these are guilt-free!

    To turduckenlover, One day when you keel over from cardiac arrest and some one gets you too the ER fast enough to save your life, YOU WILL APPRECIATE THESE KINDS OF FOOD!!!!!! Until then keep stuffing that face with 6000 calories, 500 grams of fat and 10,000 mg of sodium, each day, on your way too one day being a heart patient in intensive care. IT WILL HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!

    The same thing can be applied to seapooljake, cardiac arrest is the number one killer of young adults in this country. Know the warning signs or BE DEAD within 2 minutes!!!!!!!

    I love to try new recipes. I made your buffalo wings for my LNO (Ladies Night Out). We ate them up and drank beer and played poker. What a blast.

    I am pretty excited to try the Jalepeno Swappers and De-Pudged Pigs in a Blanket. The tortilla chips seem great as well, but I just might stick to Sun Chips. I also think think that the Buffalo Wings might taste delish as well. I have a lot of testing to do over the summer! There are many things I want to try, because all of the ones you reccomended seem (and must taste) delecious!
