Appetizers - Snacks recipes Page 11

Party dips, finger foods, and small bites for gatherings, lunchboxes, and snack time. Hot, creamy dips such as buffalo chicken, spinach artichoke, and 7 layer dip share space with cheesy pretzel bites, fried mozzarella balls, and baked chickpea and rice balls. Lighter picks include fruit kabobs, cucumber and tomato salads, roasted cherry tomatoes, and black-eyed pea hummus.

For kids and quick energy, try no-bake peanut butter protein balls and apple cinnamon bites. Many recipes take 10 to 35 minutes, so they fit between other courses. Choose dips and kabobs when you want something to set out and grab, and baked or fried bites when guests want something warm and crisp.
