Tips for a Stress-Free Appetizer Party
How many appetizers per guest? A good general rule is to plan for 3-5 appetizer bites per person per hour. If the appetizers are meant to be the main food source, you should increase that amount to 8-10 bites per person for the first hour.
Some notes on the New Year's Eve appetizers
The buffalo chicken meatballs and cheesy meatballs are very versatile. They can be served on a hoagie, or, in this case, an appetizer. When using them as an appetizer they should be made smaller. They can be served 3 on a skewer or individually with a toothpick on a large serving tray. My homemade ranch dressing or hot sauce make great dips to serve with the meatballs.
The zucchini and mushroom roll ups can be served by placing 1-2 on a small plate. This will help keep things neat and tidy. The same can be done with the pepperoni bread. Pre-slicing the bread will help keep serving from getting awkward. You can also serve my honey Sriracha cauliflower pizza!
If you are looking for some different crackers to use with the roasted red pepper dip, try the rosemary parmesan crackers that I have on my site.
Have a safe and happy new year!
