10 Last-Minute Snacks and Appetizers

We like to think of appetizers and snacks as the magic glue that holds us together. Snacks keep hungry, wandering guests out of the kitchen. They offer condolences to the picky eaters who aren’t looking forward to the brussels sprouts but love all things small and snack-like. Plus, they hit the spot when you suddenly get a second wind hours after pie is served but you only have enough energy to reach for the snack table.  

Here are the snacks you can pull together quickly for a hungry crowd:
