Whether you're prepping for Thanksgiving Day or Christmas dinner, these small bites will please your guests all holiday season long!
Fair warning: These 9 delicious options that might even upstage the main course!
No. 1: Toasted Baguette with Prosciutto Di Parma
Rachael Ray Show
Top Chef star Fabio Viviani makes a super easy but elegant baguette with prosciutto, which features only five ingredients! Just toast some sliced baguette with olive oil, then layer prosciutto and sun-dried tomatoes on top.
Tip: Slow-roast your own tomatoes instead of buying sun-dried tomatoes. Click to the recipe for details.

This onion dip isn’t like your typical, made from a dried soup mix dip. Trisha Yearwood caramelizes her own onions by cooking them low and slow, for a rich, sweet flavor. She mixes her caramelized onions with mayo, Greek yogurt, Worcestershire sauce and that’s it!

This recipe came to us courtesy of an adorable kid chef! He just takes a sheet of puff pastry and tops it with cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, then rolls, slices and bakes! Perfect party snack.

This is a fairly traditional take on the ubiquitous but delish cereal mix that is served at the holidays, but gets an Asian twist with toasted sesame oil and a kick with a splash of Bourbon!
No. 5: Loaded Baked Potato Bites

Sure, you could serve a regular ol' plate of cheese to your party guests -- but why not go the extra mile by making Trisha Yearwood’s incredibly delicious -- not to mention time-saving -- cheese boat? Your guests will eat it up in the amount of time it took you to make it (hint: mere minutes), then spend the rest of the party asking how they can make it themselves.
No. 8: Spinach and Artichoke-Stuffed Mushrooms
Rachael Ray Show
These party-sized mushroom bites are chock full of delicious ingredients like garlic, Parmigiano-Reggiano, pine nuts, spinach and artichoke – delish!

These easy curried almonds are a healthy and satisfying snack, and pair well with great conversation!
