I have been having HUGE success doing the Mexican Cheese Crisps - and then also serving cream cheese w/ a couple of the sauces and crackers, or french bread with a couple oil dipping seasonings.
That shows people a FAST appetizer that they can do in just a couple minutes, and another one that can be done in about 15-20, and have a WOW factor!
