What makes an appetizer Finger Food?

Finger Foods are often served with other appetizers, before dinner, to wet your guests’ appetites. All finger food recipes are appetizers, but not all appetizers are finger foods.

I classify dishes as Finger Food Appetizers when they are small, individual portions of food. Ideally, they can be eaten in 1-2 bites, and do not create a mess. There are no sticky fingers, no drips, no crumbs. Think – crostini topped with goat cheese and prosciutto, or something like Cranberry Brie Bites.

Although plates and utensils can be provided, finger foods can be eaten without them. They can be served as an appetizer for a sit down meal, but are often served when hosting a mix and mingle event, where people are often walking around chatting.

We’ve compiled a list of appetizers that also classify as easy finger food recipes including: meatless options, mini versions, and just our favorites!

Planning Tips

Deciding how many appetizers to make depends on the occasion, and how you’re planning to serve the dishes.

Before dinner. Plan for guests to have 3-4 appetizer pieces per person.

Appetizer only event. Prepare enough appetizers for guests to have 10-12 pieces during a 2 hour party. Add 4-5 more pieces, per person, for every hour after. Toothpicks can often make finger food easier, and more sanitary to eat, but aren’t necessary.

Deciding on different dishes. Deciding how many different dishes to make depends on the amount of people you will be hosting. Try to pick dishes that have different colors and textures, warm & cold, protein filled & produce based, all while making sure the flavors of the different dishes are complementary. 

  • If you have 10 or fewer guests, plan to have 3 different appetizers.
  • Add another appetizer selection for every 8 additional guests.

Keeping food the right temperature. Some dishes do well sitting at room temperature, others need to be kept warm or cold in order for them to be at their best. Use the following tips to keep, and serve the food at the right temperature:

  • Have two coolers for food to be kept in while waiting to be served, one for hot dishes and one for cold dishes. Don’t set out more than can be eaten within 30 minutes. Refill as needed.
  • Keep food warm in a crock pot or chafing dish.
  • Keep food cold by placing platters and bowls on a tray of ice.

Tips for the Host 

  • Plan your menu a week or two before, then watch ads to see what is on sale. 
  • Include homemade and store bought dishes. If you are using any new recipes, try them a couple weeks ahead of time, to work out any kinks. 
  • Decide which appetizers can be made ahead of time, and stored in the fridge. 
  • Place appetizer tables, or stations, in a way that traffic can flow easily.
  • Provide the proper serving utensils, making it easier for guests to fill their plates. 
  • Provide plenty of plates and napkins at every appetizer station throughout the event. 
  • Provide places for guests to sit, for those who may have trouble walking and eating. 
  • Place several receptacles throughout the venue, so guests don’t need to hunt for a trash can.

  1. My kids are very picky, but I think they might like a lot of these. Great collection!

  2. I love all of these. I don’t know which one to try first. My son is super picky and doesn’t like to get sticky hands, so toothpicks look like a good idea.

  3. Finger foods are seriously the best! We love your spinach dip bites! Sometimes I just want a variety of finger foods as my meal!

  4. Every recipe I’ve made from this list has been a keep. I know fact I just put the ham sliders on my menu for Monday. I like serving them with your creamy tomato soup.
