15 Yummy Bite-Sized Snacks and Appetizers
The best kind of appetizer is little bite-sized finger foods that your guests can just grab and go – no silverware needed. They also look so pretty for your party spread!
I like to make mini appetizers for parties and events – and even just for fun snacks at home for me and my kids. They love just being able to grab them and eat them without having to sit down at the table – you know how busy kids are!
These are some of my favorite bite size appetizers, treats, snacks and desserts that are too good not to share!

Parmesan Crusted Tortellini Bites
I made these for an appetizer for a little family get together and they were gone literally immediately. If I didn’t have a couple before I wouldn’t have even been able to try them! So needless to say – they are good!
Note – If you make them in the oven you might have to do a little extra time to make sure they get crunchy enough, just keep an eye on them.

I really like pigs in a blanket if you haven’t noticed already.
I can’t help it! There is so many fun ways to make them, every way is good and a little bit different!

Note: If you don’t want to use the whole slice of jalapeno you can chop up some pieces to add to the mixture that goes inside.

Caramel Apple Grapes
If you want to make an appetizer that will stand out from the rest – these little caramel apple grapes will do it! I made these for my kids fall class party and they ate every single one! They wanted caramel apples, but those can be difficult to eat and messy so we found this recipe and I will definitely be making it again!
No Bake Cheesecake Bites
I was asked to bring cheesecake to a potluck but I thought these cheesecake bites would be much more fun and let me tell you – they were a huge hit! Every last one was gone by the end of it!
Note: If you don’t have heavy whipping cream or don’t like to use it – these will still turn out fine without it. They might be a little bit thicker but still very good!
