Finger Appetizers

Finger appetizers, also commonly called finger foods, are a type of hors d'œuvre that can be easily eaten using your hands. These are a popular choice at a party as they allow guests to mingle and try multiple varieties of appetizers.

Dips

Dips are a popular method of serving a finger appetizer, where guests can use chips, crackers, bread, or other items and dip them into a prepared dish. Popular dips include spinach artichoke, onion dip, and blue cheese.

Serving Utensils

Finger appetizers are usually served with disposable napkins, plates, or toothpicks. This allows guests to sample to appetizers without having to carry around utensils or dishware. It also cuts down on dishes for the host of the party.

Variety

There is really no limit to the culinary creativity of finger appetizers. As long as the dish prepared is small, and easy to eat with the hands, any dish can be modified into a finger appetizer. Popular choices include cheese and crackers, sushi, chicken tenders, French fries, pizza, and even fruits and veggies.
