I am having a few guests over for New Years. Any ideas on quick, easy finger foods--all kinds?

Question

meats, sweets...

Answer 1

Buffalo Chicken Dip,
mix in medium bowl 2 cream cheese blocks softened and franks hot sauce (as much as u want I make it spicy)and one medium sized cooked chicken breast cubed small spread in 9 by 13 pan put more franks on top with a little drizzle of ranch and top with shredded cheese like fiesta blend or something like it. put in oven at 350 until cheese is melted. serve with any type of tortilla chip. or get a beef stick crackers and pepper jack cheese put on tray and enjoy

Answer 2

Buy some hillsire farms cocktail weenies, wrap in a small piece of bacon and bake until the bacon is crispy.

Spinach dip made in the blender is another easy recipe - frozen spinach, thawed and drained, one cup of mayo, one cup of sour cream, 1 small can of water chess nuts, splash of lime juice, salt and pepper to taste. Blend all ingredients to the consistency of your preference, I like it completely smooth. You may need to slightly adjust the mayo and sour cream depending on you thick or thin you want the dip. Chill for at least 2 hours. Serve with veggie or chicken flavored crackers

Another easy idea is a jalapeno cheese ball. My mom made this one time, and has had the entire family hooked since. All you need is some cheddar cheese (1/2-1 cup) depending on your preference, cream cheese, two packages, 1 jalapeno (without seeds) or more if you like it hotter. Put the pepper in the food processor and process until finely chopped, add shredded cheese until it is chopped finely too, then add the cream cheese and blend. Chill for at least an hour for flavors to blend.

I love to cook, so feel free to ask for more recipes

Answer 3

I found out a quick and easy crowd pleaser by purchasing plain chicken wings from your local grocery store, purchasing a favorite sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings (or any favorite wing joint), cooking the wings according to directions, and tossing the sauce and wings together in a crock pot to keep warm. (I personally baked the wings which is healthier than frying but you don't get that crispiness-I think you can broil them after baking them to get some crispiness) Another suggestion is to get the wings fresh from the meat deli verses the frozen section of the store. Have a great New Years!!

Warm Dip
Brown 1 lb. hamburger and drain. Put in crockpot. Add 2 cans rotel tomatoes. Cut up about 1 lb. velveeta cheese into small blocks and throw in on top. Let it get warm and stir to melt cheese. Serve with Frito scoops or corn chips, etc.

Cold Dip
Mix 1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup mayo and a pkg. original buttermilk hidden valley ranch together in a pint jar. Chill and serve with raw veggie tray.

Sweet & Sour Meatballs
Buy frozen meatballs. Put in crockpot with 1 cup grape jelly and 2 bottles of Heinz chili sauce. Stir to mix. Cook on low until hot. Serve on platter with toothpicks, or directly from crockpot.

Cheese Ball
2 (8oz) pkg. cream cheese at room temperature
1 8 oz pkg shredded cheese
1 pkg. ranch dressing mix
chopped onions, green. red and yellow bell peppers chopped
Mix all together the night before and shape into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap. Serve on tray with assorted crackers.

Answer 5

finger sandwiches, meat balls in barbecue sauce, cheese squares on a fancy tooth pick with an olive on top, chips and dip, fancy cookies, flavored coffees, and creams, cheese and fruit tray, chocolate and fruit trays, fancy crackers, and cheese wiz. I use to be a caterer, and I've given a lot of parties. I like that sort of thing. Wish I could be there to help!. thats fun !.

Answer 6

little hot dogs wrapped in bacon and baked, they are great, plus lots of veggies with dips, and cheese plates and crackers. Fresh fruits cut in to small pieces. Little finger sandwiches with ham salad, egg salad, cheese spreads, cut into different shapes.

Answer 7

I really like deviled eggs. It's not too hard to make and it's really good.

You can also do the whole crackers with cheese and salami. You'll just need to buy it and lay them out on a plate.

You can have veggies with different drips available. I love celery with peanut butter.

Sweets - you can just make or buy cookies/brownies/cupcakes/etc...

Have fun with your party.

Answer 8

Go to Costco or Sam's Club and in the frozen food section there is EVERYTHING MINI you could think of: Egg rolls, quiche, meatballs, pizza, tacos, taquitos, pot stickers, etc. The best and easiest way to buy "entertainment food." =]]

Answer 9

vegetables and dip are good. Or my sister makes these really good meatballs. Take half ketchup and half apricot preserves and mix it together in a crockpot or a sauce pan. Then take a bag of frozen meatballs and dump them in there. Once they are heated through its done. I love this recipe, it sounds weird but they are really good. chips and dip are good.
