I am having a party for 11-13 year olds. It is going to be candy-themed. There will be 10-12 children. I need to know what to serve for dinner.

Pizza (about half of them cheese only)
Build-your-own Taco Bar (soft and crispy)

You like living on the edge don't you? Feeding sugar to preteens...my hat's off to you. I'd plan on something very, very nourishing. These kids want party food, you could make pizza crusts, have the tomato sauce on hand, but then, cut up fresh veggies, pre cooked and drained meats, and shredded cheeses. Let the kids design their own pizzas, 3-4 girls per pizza, you can bake 2 at a time. Let the kids top them any way they like. Each section of a pizza can be done differently, should be fun seeing all the weird combinations of toppings the kids choose. Pillsbury makes a hotroll mix that you can make crusts from, or buy ready made pizza crusts and use those.

Nutritionally speaking, you want to serve protein to offset all the sugar, or all the kids will be crazy on sugar highs
In terms of the theme, you could serve candied yams (roasted sweet potatoes with marshmallows).

Make "hot-pot" or cheese fondue. While really fun, each kid can choose his/her favorites. With hot-pot, boil chicken broth in a fondue pot. Offer chunks of chicken, beef, veggies, whatever and they can cook in the same pot with color coded fondue forks. Great if you have several dips like Ranch dressing, sweet and sour, etc. If you choose cheese fondue...there are tons of easy recipies online (or used the packaged refrigerated kind). With this, you'll need to do more work, parboiling broccoli, baby carrots, etc. and also offer fresh fruits like pears, apples, and bananas. Dip, eat, enjoy! Cheese fondue, unlike Hot-Pot, is really filling so you won't need as much "candy dessert". Have a great time!

wine isn't a cocktail but of course you need some of it. i wholeheartedly agree with the prosecco suggestion, would be great with the artichokes & other antipasti you mentioned. a cocktail to have as an apertif would have to be the AMAZING aperol spritz, but it is very hard to find aperol in the USA. if you can find it, make the spritz by blending about 2/3 white wine (again, prosecco is good for this) and 1/3 aperol - on the rocks. add a spritz of seltzer/club soda, garnish with an orange slice & a green olive. yummy. p.s. = sangria is not italian!!!

anything really, i think the arrangment is what you should focus on. Cooked carrots for instence, arranging them skewered with brocolli or asperagus florettes on either end to make it look like wrapped mints... dying a white vegtable (like cauliflower) fun colors with food dye.
put your imagination to it, and im sure you'll think of good things!
