The Olsen Team’s Ultimate Guide to Open-House Snacking


So, you’ve decided to throw open the doors of your home and invite the masses in for a little open house action. Maybe you’re looking to sell, or maybe you just want to show off that fancy new bathroom you’ve been raving about. Either way, you’re going to need some snacks, and The Olsen Team has got you covered. You know, to keep those potential buyers’ bellies happy and distract them from the slightly wonky door handle in the guest bathroom. But fear not, dear reader, for we have delved into the bottomless pit of open house snack options and emerged with the crème de la crème of house-hunting munchies.


First off, let’s talk about the classics. You can’t go wrong with a platter of assorted cheeses. Just imagine it: your guests, strolling through the halls, discussing crown molding and square footage, all while delicately nibbling on some smoked gouda. It’s the stuff dreams are made of. And if you really want to up the ante, throw in some quirky cheese labels, like “Brie-lliant Investment Opportunity” or “Cheddar than the Rest”.


Now, let’s not forget the health-conscious folks. A delightful fruit platter is the perfect way to keep those calorie counters content. Just make sure to strategically place a particularly tempting pineapple slice near that crack in the ceiling. Voila! Your potential buyer will be so enamored with that juicy slice of goodness that they won’t even notice the structural issues.


But wait, there’s more! How about a DIY trail mix station? You could have little bowls of nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate chips, and let your guests create their own personalized mix. Not only is it a fantastic snack option, but it’s also a great way to distract from that mysterious stain on the carpet. Genius, right?


And finally, the pièce de résistance: the dessert corner. Mini cupcakes, brownie bites, and cookies galore. Who could resist the sweet allure of a bite-sized treat? Just make sure to strategically place this corner near the window with the amazing view, so potential buyers can indulge in a sugar rush while dreaming of their future sunsets.


So there you have it, folks, The Olsen Team’s ultimate guide to open-house snacking. Remember, the key to a successful open house is a happy tummy and a distracted mind. Happy snacking!
