Whether you’re hosting cocktails for your friends or throwing an all-out dinner party, these small bites are sure to impress.

Easy Appetizer Recipes That Will Impress

Appetizers may be small, but they often make the biggest impression. Whether you choose beautifully topped bruschetta, the always-popular pigs in a blanket or an array of party-worthy dips, the colorful presentation and perfectly paired flavors (because you’re serving wine or cocktails too, right?) are guaranteed to keep your guests coming back for more. Just take these show-stopping bites, for example. Valerie creates a sophisticated appetizer by layering roast beef, horseradish cream and chives into pillowy mini Yorkshire puddings. It sounds (and looks!) fancy but is surprisingly easy to make.

Party Meatballs

The best thing about these meatballs, besides the flavor of course, is that you can make them ahead of time, bake them and then pop them in the freezer. They’ll thaw as they simmer away in the sauce.
