Ooh, ooh! At our cluster meeting last night, we decided that the 20-minute ribs recipe would be great made with chicken drumsticks. Those are finger food. And they would definitely be fabulous!
Otherwise, any of the various hot dip recipes: Hot Pizza Dip, Create-a-dip (from Stoneware Inspirations)
The Create-a-Crostini from Stoneware Inspirations are also yummy.
Clubhouse Chicken Squares
Chocolate Chip Cannoli Dip or Apple Berry Salsa if you want a dessert option.

she doesn't have a specific idea in mind. I told her I would get back to her and with some recipes and she could choose from them. So it's pretty much up to me. I thought of trying the nachos supreme, cheesy bacon bites, or cheddar snack triangles but didn't know if there were some other options. I'm guessing, Ann, that those recipes that you mentioned, I would be able to find under the recipe search here, right?

Some of them, yes. I don't know that all of them would be here.
The Cannoli Dip has been in enough SBRCs recently that it should be available on Consultant's Corner. And that's where the 20-minute ribs are. (Personally, I think that doing chicken drumsticks in the DCB and grill pan would be a fantastic demo. The sauce in that recipe is to DIE for!!!)

I LOVE finger foods! But then, I have been teased my whole life that to me, everything is a "finger food"!
(bad habit!)
I do love the Crunchy Whole Grain Chicken Bites - they are a big hit at our house. I think they would be a great finger food. My favorite new appetizer recipe is the Mini Pesto Pizzas........I even served them to a group of retirees a couple weeks ago, and they loved them.....along with the Tangy Pepper Pecan Brie.
I also really like the Double Choc. Cinnamon Dip served with apple slices.
Personally, I think we have some of the best new recipes out this season that we have had since I became a consultant! I haven't had to delve into the archives too much and come up with my own plan at all this year.....(other than I still am doing the Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake for Chocolate Bliss Shows!)
