Oversized Vessel and Large Scoop
As any chip lover can attest -- you can't just eat one -- so you'll need plenty to keep guests chrunching. For a party of 20 people or less, fill a large basket, bowl or tub with four to five family-size bags of chips. Add a big scoop to make serving a snap.

Think Beyond the Standard Spices
The flavors of cookout favorites -- dill pickle and bbq -- are great choices as alternative spices. But, the sky's the limit, serve any toppings you think pair well with chips -- like crispy bacon or even sour cream.

Cheese, Please
Cheese and chips go together like, well, cheese and chips! But, instead of the standard drippy, orange cheese sauce, offer your guests more flavorful options -- like crumbled feta and bleu cheese.

Add a Little Spice -- or Not
Some folks just can't get enough hot sauce while even the tiniest spicy drop is too much for others. So, when serving hot sauce, always make sure thea the bottle is clearly marked so guests won't mistake it for mild-mannered ketchup.
