When I’m planning a dinner party or BBQ, I like to offer a variety of party foods to my guests, and finger food just makes it so much easier to mingle! These pinwheels are an easy appetizer that you can serve up on a platter, letting people pick and choose as they go. They might be simple, but they’ll definitely be a hit at your next party.
Fruit kabobs are a fun and colorful way to enjoy fruits. You can easily create a beautiful display sure to wow your guests. Use strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapple, kiwi, grapes, blackberries, and/or whatever fruit you have on hand.
You can’t go wrong with antipasto skewers. These colorful sticks are loaded with a variety of tasty treats, from olives and tomatoes to salami and mozzarella. And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance – delicious cheese tortellini. Grab a skewer and take a bite.
Scotch eggs may seem like strange finger foods for a party, especially an American party. After all, they’re a classic British food. But trust me on this one. Try them once, and you’ll be making them for every party, get-together, and brunch date in the near future. They’re meaty, eggy, deep-fried balls of YUM.
Delight your guests with the delicious crowd-pleaser that is pigs in a blanket! These little bites of heaven are made with sausage wrapped in flaky puff pastry, all rolled up and baked to golden perfection. These sausage rolls are so irresistible you’ll want to make them again and again.
Spice up your snack game with Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wings! These crispy and juicy chicken wings are coated in a fiery sauce that packs a serious kick. Once you start, you won’t be able to stop. So why settle for boring chicken when you can have Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wings?
Clever and colorful, this veggie pizza is a great way to introduce vegetables to your kids. It starts with a crescent roll base, which is fluffy and as easy as opening a can. Rather than a tomato sauce, this has a creamy ranch mix and cream cheese spread to hold all the veggies down.
Stuffed peppers are normally more of a dinner dish than party food, but these bites are a little different. I love peppers, and these minis are just the thing to serve on a plate as a perfect appetizer that’s crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Not only are they super colorful, but all you’ll need are peppers, cheese, and some honey.

Have you ever tried savory choux pastry? You’re about to! These cheese balls incorporate the delicious taste and texture of the choux with the salty goodness of cheese. Feel free to throw in some bacon bits or chopped jalapeños and serve with whipped garlic veggie cream cheese.
Is there a person on the planet that doesn’t love warm, garlicky bread? I mean, it doesn’t get much better in my eyes. I love that this recipe uses pizza dough to bake these bread bites. That way, you can make extra and have a complete pizza feast at your next party.
People love shrimp cocktail. Unfortunately, it often leaves dishes to clean up. And your guests have to carry the glasses of cocktail sauce around. So, while it tastes fantastic, it isn’t the best idea when searching for finger foods for a party. These shrimp cocktail bites remedy all of that. They’re everything you love about shrimp cocktail in a single mouthful.
Who says you can’t put an ethnic spin on your party appetizers? Whoever it is, they’re 100% wrong, and these Thai chicken skewers are my proof. These sweet, savory, and spicy skewers are Asian food at its finest. And still, they’re easy-to-eat finger foods your guests can carry around while chatting and moving through the party.
Is there anything better than a big bite of this bubbling spin’ dip? I think not! For this recipe, you’ll need six ingredients and about 20 minutes. Yes, really! By using garlic and herb cheese, you’ll skip a couple of steps from the get-go. The key is to use canned artichokes and frozen spinach.
The beauty of jalapeño poppers is that they give you just the right amount of heat and a nice creamy inside to mellow it out. This dip gives you all that, along with a crunchy top made of buttery crackers and parmesan. I think it’s great with just the jalapeños, but adding some chopped tomatoes would make it really pop.
Is it still baseball season? Super Bowl? Beats me! I just bring the best finger foods to Game Day parties. It’s easy to open a jar of dip, but why not make your own?
