I am doing a bridal shower for a friend, they will have lots of food there already, not sure what to make......Lots of posts recommended a trifle......I was thinking some kind of appetizer cause I wanted to do it right at the beginning of the shower......Any ideas would be great! :D
 
I know that you said appetizer. But I have been doing the new Mexican Trifle at my Bridal showers. It has gone over really well! It is very elegant and feeds a lot of people. And it is sooo yummy!!
 
baked potstickers a fall recipe (I think) from a few years back
 
For bridal showers I always make Clubhouse Chicken Squares. Delicious and feed alot since it's made in the large bar pan.

Me too!

This is a perfect demo for a Bridal Shower. It shows a TON of products very quickly (and the last few that I've done, I've cooked the chicken in the DCB as an added bonus), feeds a large group, and everyone loves it!

Just bake the crust before the party, and you're good to go!
