Calling all experienced TMX mums, dads and grandparents!
I've got my 5 year olds birthday party on next weekend and unfortunately very little time to prepare. I have a huge week at work, pre-school graduation and a family friends Xmas party and will be working late and then cooking food for the party late at night - so I really have limited time and wanted to use my thermie to help me through.
I'm thinking honey joys, LTM's but in patty cases and some marshmallow ice cream cones which can all be made pretty easily.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for fantastic kids party food?

Just had my daughter's 4th birthday party and being 36 weeks pregnant with number 3, it was scaled down somewhat food wise from other years. My tip would be to have a bigger quantity of a smaller selection of foods (easier to make bulk amounts than lots of different bits and pieces).
We didn't do heaps in thermie for a change-fairy bread (with bought bread-shock horror!!), a big fruit platter, and lots of sausage rolls (homemade filling in thermie but with bought butter puff pastry). For an afternoon tea it was sufficient and we still had lots of leftovers somehow. Also did the cake-love the EDC chocolate cake (a x4 batch to make the train) and some great thermie choc icing from a recipe off someone's blog-been meaning to upload it, it is insanely good!).
Honey crackles are a good one. The recipe off here is great, so easy and you can do it a day or two ahead of time. Choose other things like it that you can prepare before the day as that sounds like when you'll have more time...and don't feel like it needs to be a feast. Much better to relax and enjoy the birthday celebrations yourself too.
