Can anyone share some "finger food" appetizer recipes?

9. Assuming these are served from a table, how about grape jelly meatballs in a crockpot?

Premade frozen meatballs in a crockpot cooked with grape jelly, ketchup (or bbq sauce) and a bit of minced onion. You can spice it up by using chili sauce instead of ketchup if you prefer. About 2 or 3 hours in the crockpot is all it takes. It sounds odd, but I promise it's good. Get some nice picks to put out next to the crockpot, and you will likely not take many home.

If you want a more delicate appetizer, you can buy a loaf of cocktail bread, spread some kind of flavored cream cheese (veggie cream cheese, for example) on it, sliced cucumber, and chopped fresh dill over the top. I suggest scoring the cuke before you slice it to make it look more interesting, but that's optional. Added plus is it's not "meat centric" and it's an option for vegetarians. Very basic, but always a solid option for a passed canape.

When you are working with volunteers, sometimes easy and foolproof recipes are handy to have in your recipe box.
