10 Appetizers Guest Will Be Thankful For

Thanksgiving appetizers doesn’t always have to be bland or skipped out on altogether.. There are many new delectable finger foods being created each year. I’ve listed 10 not so traditional  Thanksgiving pre-dinner snacks that I hope you’ll give at least one a whirl this holiday season. Who knows, maybe one of the following suggestions will end up making a holiday debut this year and become a hit with guest.
A muffin tin is the perfect tool for creating portion controlled appetizers that your guests can just grab and go. Not only does this make a great appetizer but it also keeps the issue of serving without a huge mess. You can make all kinds of ingredients in a muffin tin. Other optional ideas; quiche, mac'n cheese cups, baked sandwiches, tamales,cornbread chili bowls, or chicken pot pies. Your guests are sure to enjoy. 


One of the easiest party appetizers is this skewer with a piece of pepperoni, a cherry tomato and a drizzle of basil pesto. Variations are limitless by adding olives, chunky veggies, select deli meats or fruits guest can customize each to their own liking.

 

Tiny bread bowls are perfect a dab of delicious spinach artichoke dip.

You'll be surprised at how scrumptious a chunk of pineapple is when it's wrapped with a slice of hickory smoked bacon

A slice of salami filled with cream cheese and a pickled pepper is the perfect appetizer.

For a touch of the gourmet, try serving bacon wrapped shrimp with a spicy honey dipping sauce.

Cheese and fruit pair so well together, so laying out a spread with several types of each is both simple and delicious. 

For a healthy appetizer, skewer fruit and let your guests nibble on a pile of different types.Selections can vary from the usual fruits to exotic and cheeses.

If you've never had cantaloupe and prosciutto together, you don't know what your missing. For an added creamy tangy texture add a small cube of your favorite cheese.

Lastly, its not an appetizers, but its definitely an after meal treat. A caramel apple bar. Nothing screams fall more than a huge gooey caramel apple. You can totally use this to create an epic buffet style treat your guests will love. Put out apples on sticks along with tubs of caramel and all the toppings. Chopped nuts, candies, coconut, diced fruit and mini chocolate chips are tasty ideas.
