60 Easy Finger Food Party Appetizer Recipes for the Best Party Ever

Entertaining (or just really, really love tiny, bite-sized snacks)? We got you covered. Whether you want fancy, little puff pastry bites or something comforting like pigs in a blanket and slow-cooker grape jelly meatballs, we have tons of bite-sized finger food recipes perfect for your next dinner party.

We don't know the science behind this, but we know it's true: the smaller the food, the tastier it is (This might be why we love sliders so much). And when you can eat these apps in two bites, it means we're going to be eating lots of cheeseburger tot sliders, beef Wellington bites, Mac and cheese pizza bites, and shrimp tostada bites.

Want to really impress your guests? We have some easy, yet impressive, apps that are sure to stun. Crispy fried calamari (and even mushroom "calamari"!) couldn't be simpler to whip up. The same is true for our recipes for black eyed pea bruschetta, arancini, and Taiwanese popcorn chicken. In a rush? Check out all our best quick, last-minute appetizers.

With all these appetizers working their way around the room, you're going to need some cocktails and mocktails to go with them. Shake things up with our recipes for caiparinhas, a bee's knees cocktail, and Seabreeze drink. If you need to stock up your bar cart, check out our favorite gin, tequila, vodka, and non-alcoholic spirit recommendations. Serving a crowd? Try one of our many big batch summer cocktails so you can focus on your guests (and those appetizers!).
