What do you expect in the way of "refreshments" at a social situation in a private home?

If refreshments are promised, it seems to me the host could do better than dumping a bag of butterscotch buttons in a dish. At least some cookies or crackers & cheese...

Yes, I would think more in the line of some fresh fruit, cheese, a dip or two with some veggies,crackers and chips. At the very least, beverages of some sort with cake and or cookies.

Perhaps some beverages, a couple of snack items.
