Thread: Need finger food suggestions

Tweet

My party is on the 28th and I'm just having munchie finger foods since the party is later at night and with alcohol. So far I have ritz crackers and a spicy cheese spread (boursin cheese, cream cheese, and cayenne pepper) , and pumpkin dip (pumpkin filling, whipped cream, sugar, and spices) with graham crackers. I would really like to serve more that that, but I'm feeling stumped because I want something that you don't really need to put on a plate to eat, and that wont make your fingers too messy. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Hi! We're doing the same thing. Our menu consists of ::

-Deviled eggs
- Mummy weinners (hotdogs/little weinners wrapped in crescent roll)
-Some kind of minni wraps
-Chips & dip
-& then some treats
ie:: cupcakes, popcorn balls, and whatever else I can think of.


Hope that gives you a few ideas!! Good luck!

Check out this thread Your 2011 Menus - Share and Discuss! LOTS of great ideas

Meatballs go over really well or wings. I always do some type of nacho dip or cheese dip & chips as well.

One im going to add this year is you take cream cheese and blob it on a plate. Take little shrimp( maybe from a can???) And mix the shrimp with cocktal sauce and layer that on the shrimp. Its actually delish...looks good and creepy though. Had it a party for new years.. you use crackers such as ritz to dip into.. so no plate needed

I meant you layer the shrimp cocktail sauce onto the cream cheese

u could also do the 'witches finers' i thnk they call it..

u use either fruit dip or cool whip for base in bowl. then u have to cut up apples skinny like witches fingers. Then get almond halves and put them on the top of apple like the finernail.

or u could grab a basic fruit platter or veggie platter at the grocery store, which would save u time bc u wouldnt have to cut things.


i also like the 'dirt cups'

u get clear 8oz cups
put a scoop of choc pudding
a scoop of cool whip
make a cake that is dirt colored, then crumble it all up.
crushed oreos adds some yummy flavor!
then push a couple gummi worms into the 'dirt'
___thats the basic idea, but u can add other stuff____

like I add either caramel or choc syrup (just a lil drizzle) over the top so it look like the worm has mud on it
i also got little candy pumpkins (the ones that go on cupcakes) imma set one in each
then u could get milano cookies (or any cookie with that rounded top shape) and write RIP in choc. frosting, so its like a tombstone in the dirt as well.

Hope this helps

We had pulled pork that I made in the crock pot and had small rolls. No one used a plate for those since they were about 3 bites. I also made sausage bread which looked like bones with marinara. Favorite was these antipasto skewers. They were wolfed down and not messy at all. I also had spicy shrimp and cut up Louisiana hot links with toothpicks to use. The spinach dip was also a huge hit

Haunt Brewing, I make a pumpkin dip that sounds like yours and I use ginger snap cookies, it is sooo goood...
