Delicious Pink Appetizer Recipes for Your Next Party

[pc_momof3]

I have a host next week who is interested in a "pink" recipe for HWC, but she wants an appetizer. I've found a lot of pink desserts, any suggestion for pink appetizers? What do you guys think of Clubhouse Chicken Squares (my favorite recipe) with the cream cheese mixture tinted pink with food coloring? Would that work okay? Thanks for the help!
