Artichoke Dip...
1 14 oz water packed artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped.
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2-3 drops hot pepper sauce (optional

Combine all ingredients and blend well. Spread into square (9x9?)ovenproof dish. At this point, spread may be refrigerated up to 1 day in advance. bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Serve with assorted crackers.

My aunt makes these and they are AWESOME! Cook 1 lb. ground beef and in a seperate pan cook a package of jimmy dean regular sausage drain grease from both and combine add 1 lb of velveeta cheese and load on some wosteshire sauce cook until cheese is melted and well blended. serve on top of small pieces of bread (ya know those small loaves of bread pre sliced) serve warm not to bad room temp either. good luck

I make my ex husbands favorite all the time and people just love it. Very easy. BLT snacks. You cook bacon (or buy precooked, that's what I do, lol) and break it into little pieces. Mix it in a bowl with mayo or miracle whip. Spread it on a Ritz cracker, then top off with a cute little slice of a cherry tomato. They look very festive at Christmas time and they taste amazing. Always the first thing gone. Good luck, have fun, and thanks for this request! I'm taking notes of the other suggestions:)

My "wow" appetizer is from Barefoot Contessa. It's her pan fried onion dip. Like old fashioned sour cream and onion dip only 100 x's better. Of course serving a dip with potato chips is somewhat casual but it is really, really yummy. You can google Barefoot Contessa onion dip and you'll find it easily.
Another more serious and simple favorite of mine is pouring caramel sauce over a Brie wedge and sprinkling with dried cherries. Sounds strange but everone who tries it loves it.
Oh, one last one. I've tried somewhat succesfully to recreate a dish from Cafe BaBaReba. It's dates stuffed with blue cheese and wrapped in piece of applewood or maple bacon. Really yummy but you may want to experiment before you make up your mind.

My husband and I usually bring our Beer Cheese Dip. It ALWAYS is a hit. It's addicting! He found it in a beer recipe pamphlet for a $1 of all places! My recommendation is to make it the night before your party so the flavor really sets in. Much tastier! :-) Makes about 3 cups.

TIP: An American amber ale, with strong hops character, works well. We normally use Miller Lite or High Life.

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 pkgs (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 packet (1 ounce) HIDDEN VALLEY The Original Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasonsing Mix
1/2 to 3/4 cup beer
Chopped green onion and additional Cheddar cheese

In medium bowl, combine Cheddar cheese, cream cheese and salad dressing & seasoning mix. Gradually stir in beer until mixture is to desired consistency. Garnish with green onion and additional Cheddar cheese. Serve with pretzels, crackers, or assorted fresh veggies, if desired.

Hi M. ~

I always make a BLT Dip that everyone always asks for every time! LOL

You take:
(1) 8 oz jar of Mayo
(1) 8 oz container of sour cream
(1) large tomatoe diced
(1) tall jar of Hormel Bacon pieces

Mix all together and refrigerate. Take a loaf of bread and toast. Cut into fours and serve with the dip.

They'll enjoy it! Good Luck!

St. Louis style toasted ravioli. All prep work can be done days before and all you have to do is bake them before the party!
1 bag of frozen ravioli (beef or cheese) (I usually do both)
2 eggs
1 cup milk
Italian seasoned bread crumbs
I jar of marinara
parmesan for sprinkling on when done (can use real or powdered...real is better!)

Mix eggs and milk in a bowl. Put breadcrumbs in separet bowl. Dip each ravioli in milk and egg mixture and then coat with breadcrumbs. Put on nonstick baking sheet. After you finish with all of them, leave them on the baking sheets and put them back in the freezer. You can do this days before the party if you want!

PS They cook better if you freeze them before baking them (at least a couple hours)
When you are ready to cook them, Preheat oven to 425 and bake for 10-14 minutes. While they are baking put marinara in a microwave safe bowl and warm it up. When raviolis look nice and toasty take them out and sprinkle with cheese. Put them on a tray with the bowl of sauce and WA LA...Appetizers! If you poke a toothpick in each of them it looks pretty!

Good Luck!

I have always been required to bring the family taco dip recipe to any work function. I was told I can't go if i don't bring it. Very easy:
1 package Macormick taco seasoning
1 container sour cream
shredded cheese
small can sliced olives black
tomato chopped
shredded lettuce, I get the 'Shreds" kind

Mix taco seasoning in sour cream night before, it tastes better
Spread on plate top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, olives
Serve with tortilla chips. I like the Scoops kind!

It will be gone faster than anything else on the table! Enjoy!

I have always gotten compliments on..

Chili Cheese Dip

1 can hormel chili no beans
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Spread cream cheese (softened) on bottom of pie dish

I have taken this olive spread to many parties and have made it for parties at my own home and it's always been a huge hit. Easy and delicious. Enjoy!

Olive Spread (creative title)

1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives, or other black olives
1/2 cup chopped pimiento stuffed green olives
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
(2) 8 oz. pkgs cream cheese, softened

Mix everything together and serve with crackers or pita chips. Can make 3 days ahead, chill.

TIP: A good way to do it is to mince your garlic in the food processor, add the olives, olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper, mix all that together, and then add the cream cheese and process just until it's all blended.

EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY!

Hi! Well, i'm not sure this recipe will wow a crowd but it's so good and extremely easy to make. I bring this to just about every party I attend and it's always a hit. It's a chili cheese dip that you cook in a crock pot. That way you can either cook it up at home, or just bring it to the party unmade and whip it up right there. It takes about 20 minutes to make. Then you just bring a few bags of your favorite Tortilla chips and Voila..you got a Yummy and Warm appetizer! **Just a side note though, this recipe is not for anyone who wants to watch their calorie intake :-) But it's nice to make once a year and that way you don't feel that guilty.

One block of Cheddar Cheese (I like using Sharp Cheddar)
One package of Cream Cheese
One Can of Chili (with or without beans)
One Jar of Salsa

Mix all ingredients together and set on high heat on your crockpot, checking and stirring occasionally, until cheeses are melted together. Stir and reduce to low heat until ready to serve.

Serve with Tortilla Chips.

Hope you like this one, and if not maybe someone will see it and make it. I like it cause I'm not much of a cook and it's super easy to make.
Merry Christmas!!!

Here are two of our family's favorites:

Tortilla Roll-ups (cold)
1 pkg of 10 fajita sized tortillas
8 oz cream cheese
8 oz full fat sour cream
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
1 small can chopped black olives (rinsed and drained)
1 small can diced green chilis
1 small jar diced red pimentos (drained)
1 bunch of scallions
1 tsp garlic powder

Let the cream cheese soften. Dice green onions. Mix everything in a bowl. Spread tortillas out on counter. Divide cheese mixture up among the tortillas. Spread mix out toward ends of tortillas. Roll the tortillas up, cut on the diagonal to make little round wedges. Discard end pieces (they are yucky looking and messy -- or save for hubby to eat later) This recipe makes a ton, the look festive on the plate and taste great too.

Bacon Swiss Melts (hot)

1 loaf cocktail rye bread (those mini loaves of bread at the deli counter)
2 cups shredded swiss cheese
1/4 cup bacon bits
1/4 cup dried chives
1/4 mayo
1 small can chopped black olives (rinsed and drained)

Mix cheese and following ingredients together. Spread a generous amount on slice of cocktain rye. Arrange on broiler pan so that pan is full. Broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese is bubbly. Serve hot. YUM! Even our baby likes these!

I make an amazing cheese ball that looks so fancy but is super easy! I got the recipe from www.kraftffoods.com and all you do is soften 1 block of cream cheese, mix with 1 small bag of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 3-4 slices of crumbly bacon. Let chill for 1-2 hours. Roll into a ball and then roll in crushed/chopped mixed nuts. It is always a hit and everyone thinks I labored over it :)

Heres a simple one, Ive used the past two years for our Turkey Day.

Sesame Sticks wrapped in bacon.
I slice the bacon into three sections then just wrap it around the sesame stick then back it for about 1 mins on 350*
then when they come out sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
you can find it on foodnetwork from Paula Deen.

A huge hit here is Buffalo Chicken Dip - 13 ounce can chicken breast, 1/2 cup ranch dressing, 1/2 cup Frank's red hot sauce, 8 ounce cream cheese, 2 cup shredded cheddar or mexican cheese. Mix together and either bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or just pop in the microwave for a couple of minutes. Serve with crackers, tortilla chips, celery sticks or (our favorite) crusty french bread

Buffalo Chicken Dip - and it is a cinch to make!

2 packages of cream cheese, softened
16 oz bottle of Ranch dressing
2 large cans of chunk chicken
1 bottle of Texas Pete's hot wing sauce (do not use 'hot sauce' like Tobasco)

Mix all of these items in a large bowl and blend with a hand mixer. Spread the mixture into a baking dish, and top with 1 bag of shredded cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips, wheat thin crisps, or celery sticks.

M., these have always been a huge hit...
Crab Rangoon:
1 package cream cheese
3/4 cup lump or imitation crab meat
1/8 tsp powdered ginger
Dash Chinese 5 spices (optional)

2-3 chopped green onion/scallions
1 package wonton/egg roll wrappers, cut in 2" squares

heat at least 2" of oil in heavy bottom pot or deep fryer. Combine 1st 4 ingredients. Then mix in scallions. place a heaping tsp of the mixture into the center of 1 wonton square, (helpful to have small cup of water on the side) moisten interior edges & press together to form triangle. Pinch farthest corners together to form a bishops hat. Deep fry until golden brown. place on paper towels to dry. These reheat well in the oven. Serve w/ Sweet & Sour sauce... you can by at store but homemade is always a nice touch.

or

Super Easy & Super Yummy! Spicy Cheesy Nutty Triscuits
1 package cream cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped candied pecans
1/8 tsp or dash cayenne pepper
1 cup finely shredded cheddar
1-2 finely chopped scallions or chives as garnish (optional)
box triscuits

blend 1st three ingredients, spread on Triscuits, sprinkle w/ Cheddar, place in broiler until golden, sprinkle w/ scallions & serve.

I make an appetizer that everyone loves. It is a mexican dip.

You take 2 blocks of plain or low fat cream cheese and mix it with 3/4 of the large jar of medium Pace picante sauce with a mixer. You can also add some cilantro if you like.

Spread into a pan.

Top with onions and colorful peppers.

Serve with tortilla chips.

I constantly get asked for the recipe because people love it so much.

You've gotten a lot of responses, but I guarantee this one is a huge crowd pleaser! It takes some work, but totally worth it and you can make them ahead of time as they are served cold/room temperature. Every time I make these I have copies of the recipe on hand as people always want the recipe!

Peanut Chicken Appetizer

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 cups half & half
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
3 tablespoons mango chutney
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons curry powder -- plus 1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 cups peanuts, dry-roasted -- chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold them. Pour half and half over them and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool and cut in 1-inch cubes. Process mayonnaise, chutney, sherry, vinegar, curry powder and turmeric in food processor. Dip chicken pieces into the curry mayonnaise and roll in the chopped nuts. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Arrange on a serving plate with fancy toothpicks.

One cold, easy, but quick to go appetizer that I often use is caprese on a stick.
Ingred:
whole grape tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes cut in half)
fresh mozzarella balls (buy or make with a melon ball scoop)
olive oil and basil
cocktail toothpicks

Dirx:
marinate mozzarella with olive oil and basil
skewer tomatoes and mozzarella and serve.
Variety/Add
I often do the above caprese tray with prosciutto wrapped around different things- some melon,some seasoned asparagus and some breadsticks.

Hot Appetizer
one very popular and easy is a meat-vegetable kabob
Marinate meat and vegetables (chicken, red pepper and onion is an easy favorite), skewer a stick full and grill to cook. When done just separate so each cocktail tootkpick has one piece of meat and 1 or 2 small vegetable slices. Can prepare the dish with a couple of dips - honey barbeue, creamy lemon dill, terriyaki, etc

Another prepare ahead and stay warm is the traditional swedish meatballs. We do this in a crockpot- set it and forget it!

I just did a tastefully simple recipe with the artichoke/spinach dip. Everyone loved it. Theres a recipe on the box for a warm one thats the one i used. If you hvae a TS rep I recommend that.

Warm appetizer:

Triscuit Dip:
8oz cream cheese
1/2 cup miracle whip
4 oz swiss cheese (I use mozzarella instead)
2 tbs of green onion
1/2 cup ritz crackers crumbled up

Mix all the ingredients together.
Heat in microwave for 4 minutes.
Serve with Triscuit crackers.

You cannot go wrong with this one...

Cindy B's suggestion of BLT crackers are always a huge hit and a request at our family parties! When we make it we use the Oscar Mayer precooked bacon and nuke it for 2.5 minutes to make it crispy and less of a mess! We also use the fancy crackers that are a bit larger. We also add just a bit of ground black pepper for more taste. A tip for slicing the tomatoes.... chill on ice cubes for an hour so they are firmer and slice easy! It will definately be a huge success!!!

One I really like is stuffed mushrooms. Uncap the mushroom and stuff with Italian Sausage or a stuffing made of the stems and bread crumbs. Bake in a 350 oven for about 10-20 mins. Another easy one is velveeta microwaved with salsa served with tortilla chips. You can easily make this at home in a corning-ware dish and quickly microwave again once you reach the destination.

Have fun!!

I dont have the recipe here at work, but you can google Jalapeno popper dip---& it is so good--it is a hot dip-very easy top make & I bake it so the top gets brown--it has diced chiles, diced jalapenos mayo & cream cheese & parmesean cheese--if you cant find it I have it at home & can e-mail it later-------always a hit--everyone asks for the recipe & goes best w/Staceys Pita Chips which I get a Costco--they sell small bags at other stores, but Costco is your best bet for price on the chips--have substituted other pita chips & still very good--let me know if you cant find it. YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not too hot either--everyone loves it.

Texas Caviar! This is soooo easy! A can each of black beans, corn and Italian or Mexican flavored diced tomatoes and zesty Italian dressing. Drain and rinse black beans, drain corn, throw it in a bowl with the tomatoes and pour in some dressing to taste. You can then elaborate on it with seasonings and maybe chopped green onions. red peppers. jicama,etc. Just make sure you chop everything the same size as the Beans and corn. Serve with Frito's Scoopers. It's very colorful and seems to be a magnet at any appitizer table.

I'm not sure about the "wow" factor, but I get a jalepeno jam from Tastefully Simple and you just pour it over cream cheese. Everybody loves it and I've had guests ask me where to buy the jam. Another great one is goat cheese baked on thin crackers with a little fig jam on top. The fig jam (you can get it at Whole Foods) takes away the strong flavor of the goat cheese. A cold, easy one is prosciutto (can get it at Trader Joe's) wrapped in cantaloupe. Bacon-wrapped dates is another but takes more work. All these are tried and true. Have fun! C.

Super easy, basically 3 ingredients.
Queso de Cabra,
1 medium brick/log of Chevre (Goat Cheese)Trader Joes
1 Jar of Trader Joe's Vodka sauce (or any other vodka sauce can do)
Put cheese in middle of a small pyrex, souffle, or roasting dish, pour just enough Vodka sauce over cheese and coat the dish. Either bake in toaster oven, or oven for 8 minutes-ish at 350, just enough to get the cheese soft and warm. ( you can also microwave it, but lightly cover so it doesn't splatter)DO NOT MIX. Serve with sliced bagettes or french bread, or you can buy garlic Melba toasts, or garlic bagette rounds too. Put a couple small spreaders in the dish and wellah, simple quick and easy.
People usually scape the bowl clean with the bread.
You can also stick a basil sprig or some olives in the center of the cheese and around the dish to garnish.

Even easier cold app,
Lucerne (I buy at Dominicks) makes an Orange Cranberry cream cheese spread in a tub, buy 2 scrape out into a bowl and mix in chopped walnuts. Roll into ball, refrigerate until your party and serve with TLC's7-grain crackers. I used to make this from scratch until Lucerne came out with it whipped up already. You can even roll the ball in the chopped walnuts if you'd like. This also has been a hit for years at parties, and if you are lucky enough to make too much, It's great on a bagel for breakfast the next day!

this is awesome!

Hot and Honeyed Chicken Wings - Makes about 34 appetizers

3 lbs. Chicken Wings
3/4 Cup Pace Picante Sauce
2/3 Cup Honey
1/3 Cup Soy Sauce
1/4 Cup Dijon-style Mustard
3 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
2+ Tbsp. Grated Fresh Ginger (I use at least 1/4 Cup)
-1/2 Tsp. Grated Orange Peel
Additional PACE Picante Sauce

Cut off and discard wing tips; cut each wing in half at joint. Place in 13x9-inch baking dish. Combine 3/4 cup picante sauce, honey, soy sauce, mustard, oil, ginger and orange peel in small bowl; mix well. Pour over chicken wings. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 400̊F. Place chicken wings and sauce in single layer on foil-lined 15x10" jelly roll pan. Bake 40-45 minutes or until brown. Serve warm with additional picante sauce. Garnish as desired.

I came up with a spinach & artichoke dip (hot) that beats Applebee's and Friday's (more flavor!) and an easy but very awesome cheese ball (cold).

My daughter was recently at a party where they served shot glasses of tomato soup and bite size grill cheese sandwiches on a toothpick sticking out of the soup. With this cold weather it might something a little different and fun to serve.

My sister makes this chicken bacon wrap that I could eat everyday! She takes chicken and cubes it and wraps bacon around it. Then she rolls it in bbq sauce and puts a toothpick in it and bakes it until it is cooked all the way through. they are sooooooo good. you could use hot sauce, brown sugar, bbq sauce, so many choices, but that are tasty!!!

Hi M.- Have you ever heard of Tastefully Simple? They have wonderful easy to prepare appetizers and alot of other foods as well. I have been a consultant with them for 5 1/2 yrs and you have lots of options. You can go to their website and click on recipes and look around. They have a ton of hot and cold things. I'm sure you will find something yummy and crowd pleasing. If you need any more help feel free to email me directly at ____@____.com. Enjoy & Happy holidays!!

This artichoke dip always gets raves: drain and chop one can artichoke hearts put in bowl and add 1 clove minced garlic, 1 cup grated or shredded parmesan cheese, 2T grated lemon rind (the rind from one medium lemon) and about 1 cup Miracle Whip or any kind of mayo....you can use light or fat free or a combo of regular and light. Mix together. PUt in small oven friendly casserole dish. Sprinkle more parmesan on top and bake for about 25 minutes in 400 degree oven until browned and bubbly. THe variable is the amount of mayo - if you like chunkier more "artichokey" use less mayo, if you want creamier use more and chop the artichoke more finely. It comes out delicious and lemony. Enjoy!

I have a hot and cold that are both relatively easy:

COLD: Ham/Pickle Roll-Ups:

You need the following ingredients:
*Baby Dill Pickles
*Ham - cut medium thickness...not shredded/thin, but not thick either (I usually use the brown sugar flavored, but any flavor will do) - even the pre-packaged ham works well for this
*Whipped Philly Cream Cheese with Chives

Directions:

Take the ham and lay it out on a flat surface and spread the cream cheese in a thin layer on the ham. Take the pickle and roll it up into the ham/cheese. Cut small, appetizer sized bites.

One jar makes a boat load!

HOT: Pizza Sausage

You need the following ingredients:
*Mild Italian Sausage (I use Johnsonville) - 5 pack
*16 oz can of pizza sauce (whatever kind you like best)

Directions:

Take the sausage and put it into a medium sized pot and add warm water to top it off. Boil the sausage until foam appears on the top of the water. Take the sausage out and skin it (cut the skin off) - may want to wait a few minutes for it to cool. At this stage you should take a medium sized dish (that can be heated on a burner, microwave or oven) and pour the pizza sauce into it. Now, take the skinned sausage and cut it into moon pieces (first cut a round and then half that piece) and as you cut them, put it into the pizza sauce. Once you're done filling the dish, warm the sauce until it first start to bubble and it's done - it will taste like a sausage pizza without the cheese (this would be good on some bread too).

Hi--I make a great hot (temperature) sausage won ton appetizer that always is a hit. It is posted on recipezaar.com. Look for recipe
