{Bar Party}

It's finally here! You've been hearing me talk about it forever now, and finally, it happened!

The Bean's Super, Epic 16th Birthday Party was held last night.

Lemme get right down to it, here's what I did.

It was a Bar Party. Not THAT kind of Bar, food bars. Fix your own, do it your way, have it how you like it food bar.

Here's the downlow.

Nacho Bar:

3 kinds of tortillas, cheese dip, queso cheese dip, refried beans, taco meat, jalapenos, sour cream, tomatoes, green onion, shredded Colby Jack cheese, shredded Cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese.

 
Snow Cone Bar:

Peach Mango, Grape, Strawberry, Strawberry Lemonade, Blue Raspberry, Cherry, Watermelon.

I totally ran out of time to make the cute labels I showed in the Snow Cone recipe post!

Potato Bar:

Baked and Mashed Potatoes, Butter, Sour Cream, Bacon, Broccoli, Cheddar Cheese, Mozzarella Cheese, Cheese Sauce, Green Onion, Cheddar Jack Cheese.

My potatoes were already baked, though I'm sure if you look on the internet you can find out how to bake them in the crockpot.

Cupcake Bar:

Chocolate and Vanilla Cupcakes with toppings

Mini Chocolate Chips, Mini White Chocolate Chips, Kit Kats, Sixlets, M&Ms, Turtle Crunch Sprinkles, Rainbow nonpareils, Rainbow Jimmies, Sanding Sugar, Reese's Cups, Crunch Bars, Oreos, Chocolate Syrup, Whipped Topping.

2013 compliments of this year's newly graduated seniors!

They had a lot of fun with the glow items, the sparklers, playing Capture the Flag, Ghost in the Graveyard, and Beach Ball Volleyball, but the REAL hits of the night were the food bars!

Food Bars are so easy and so much fun. The possibilities are endless!

This isn't the first and certainly will not be the last time I do bars.

Give it a try. I'm sure it'll be a huge hit at your party too!

You can totally dress this up for showers too, just put all the toppings in cute containers with labels. I had planned on doing that for this party, but ran out of time. I don't think the 20 teenagers here minded though!

I'm calling this Super 16 birthday party an Epic Success. Or as Bean so eloquently put it:

"It was AWESOMETACULAR!"
