You know what, ignore the side eye and try the chick peas. It never hurts to try new things, and they might turn out to be a favorite.

Here's something that is easy, pretty, and stays fresh for a long time. Takes a little prep but you can make a huge batch and be done. Lay some round pretzels out on a cookie sheet. Put a plain Hershey's kiss on top of each pretzel. Warm in the oven at about 250 degrees for about 5-10 minutes. Press each kiss with a spoon to spread it out on the pretzel. Put a red or green m&m on top. Let set to harden and you are done. Store in airtight container and they are good for weeks. (Bonus--You get to eat all the other colors of the m&ms).

Random drop-ins would be offered a cup of coffee or tea and whatever happened to be in the cookie jar.

Lately we’ve really taken to Gala apples, so I’ve always got a few in the kitchen. I like to slice an apple and some cheese to offer as a snack. BJ’s sells a “flat” of 4 different kinds of cheeses that are pretty tasty and pre-sliced into rectangles. Offer them with apple slices or crackers and anyone should be happy (at least surprise guests should). I also like to pair cheese with fig preserves that you can buy in the supermarket. Of course, there’s always pretzels to dip in a little honey mustard or Nutella. I finished my last batch of Christmas cookies today and the kitchen is closed to impromptu meals for the time being.

I found that sardines on Ritz crackers are an easy to prepare and serve treat....
With a glass of water on the side....
I don't know if people REALLY enjoy it though....they never come back!
So now I really don't have to worry about having room temp food to serve!!!!

Random drop-ins? As in people that rudely show up unannounced, uninvited and expect to be let in to your home AND given food? Not at my house, holiday or not.

We always have a good supply of a variety of bakery cookies. Mostly frozen for 'drop-ins'. (I love browsing our local supermarket bakery. So many fresh-baked, bakery- packaged cookies/items to choose. My gosh, are we lucky to have so much available to us. Fairly inexpensive, too. A large tray of cookies for $4 or $5. Excellent selections, too; not just one type. Supermarket bakeries have come a long way.

Thanks for all the replies..think I will keep some sort of dip and crackers and a bag of chips or pretzels on hand and some assorted drinks, like wild vines and some pop/soda like ginger ale.

I see these as no fuss. Room temp can also mean that even though it must be heated, it can hold at room temp for quite a while.
