7 Easy Apps to Bring To Your Pool Party

Pool parties are one of the best parts of summer! And if you're invited to one, it's not a good idea to show up empty-handed. But making an appetizer to enjoy after a long day of swimming doesn't have to be hard. These each only have 3 ingredients! 

1. Bacon cream cheese crescents

This recipe is designed for the air fryer, but you could definitely tweak it for the oven as well. Bacon makes everything better, no matter how you make it!

2. Caramel Cheesecake Apple Dip

Technically this is four ingredients if you count the apples, but still! This is an indulgent treat that everyone at the party will devour. Who knew apples could be so appealing?

3. White queso dip

Taco seasoning makes this cheesy dip pop! If your friends are bringing the chips, you can wow them with this queso that's as simple as it is tasty.

4. S'mores dip

Who says that s'mores are only for campfires? This dessert dip is perfect for your fruits, crackers, cookies, and pretzels.

5. Ham and cheese roll ups

Need some cheese? Skip the boring poolside sandwiches and indulge in these simple roll-ups. This recipe calls for ham and mozzarella, but you could switch it up with any melty cheese or deli meat.

6. Bacon crackers

This one's cheating a bit, since it actually involves 5 ingredients, but 3 of them are just pinches of spices. Want to add Maryland flair to this recipe? Swap the cayenne pepper for Old Bay!

7. Chocolate covered pretzels

If you can't make it to Candy Kitchen, try doing this classic summer treat at home. It's easy -- all you need are pretzels, melting chocolate, and sprinkles. You can go nuts with this, adding candy pieces, crushed cookies, or flaky salt!
