What appetizer should I make for my Monday host?

In summary, the host wants an appetizer and the person talked with her today about mini muffin pans and pecan tasses. A tried and try recipe was mentioned and the person is thinking of the cheese crisps.

Most things I make for people are more main dish type of things...This host I have on Monday wants an appetizer. I talked with her today and told her about these taco things in the mini muffin pan and the pecan tasses. Well I've never made either but we decided to do those at her show. I tried both tonight and none of my family including myself like them...I need to come up with something by tomorrow. I've thought maybe the cheese crisps but the one time I made them they didn't turn out super great - the cheese was strange...Help any tried and try recipe I should make? This is a group of Mennonite ladies who are very good cooks!
 
I really like the Chicken, Tomato, pesto Flatbread out of the Spring/Summer 2010 SB. Has been a hit at my shows!
 
Greek Cheese Torta is always a hit, super fast and pretty simple to make.
 
:)I know this is super simple, but I'm taking it as an appetizer to a family holiday function on Sunday. Pour some Raspberry Habanero sauce over cream cheese and serve it with crackers. Now, I don't know if this particular group of women are looking for an appetizer like that, but it's an easy one to put out and might give someone an idea. Good luck with your show! And, maybe just because you didn't like the items you made, doesn't mean they wouldn't like them? Just a thought. I am super picky about foods and NEVER eat what I cook/make at a show, but my guests seem to love the stuff.
 
We like the bacon cheddar bites that were in the Fall/Winter 2009 cookbook. I made those for 4 shows and they were a huge hit. And my husband really loved them!
 
Bacon Cheddar Bites are really popular for me too! Love Them!
