“Finger food” refers to anything that can be eaten without cutlery and with your fingers. This includes all party snacks, sweet and savory snacks, filled dumplings made from puff pastry, small wraps and sandwiches. The delicious party appetizers should be relatively small and can be enjoyed in one bite. Finally, enough napkins are needed so that you can eat with your hands. Whether for a big celebration or a sociable get-together with friends, small party snacks are particularly suitable for all events. What is usually crucial here is how many people are expected. For a small reception, three to five appetizers per person are usually enough. For a larger celebration in the evening, you need to plan ten to twelve appetizers per guest. Actually, delicious finger food can be made quickly if the necessary ingredients are available. In this post we present 11 party snack ideas.
