For a Party:
Mini cocktail wienies
Pita bread and Hummus
Bagel Bites
McDonald's Cheeseburger cut in little squares with toothpicks through them (weird but effective and affordable)
Brownie Bites
Chips and Dip
Cut chicken breast tenderloins into bite size chunks and make boneless chicken wings (battered or unbattered as you prefer).
Any sandwich can be cut into smaller pieces.
I love the chili and velveta chili-cheese dip with various chips.
Round or large triagular tortilla chips can be layered with various tex-mex ingredients and baked, but that takes a lot of room for the chips to not be stacked on each other and takes a lot more time to make. Still, worth it for smaller crowds.
Little smokies in bbq sauce are a hit now and then.
Take any frozen pizza and cut into small bite-size pieces. Or, if it is a small party, get pre-made pizza shells or buy some premade dough from your local pizza store. Get some sauce, cut up all the veggies and prep all the meats in separate bowls. Have a "make your own pizza" party, and everyone can put what they want on their small pizza and bake. Eat and share.

Nancy's Deli Spirals or Nancy's mini quiches...both are very very good!! The quiches you bake in the oven but they are done in no time and are fabulous and easy
The guy with the smoked salmon and cream cheese on a cracker answer is right, that is delicious but who in the heck has smoked salmon lying around in their fridge?! Not me! lol
Cube up some boneless, skinless chicken breast and marinate it for an hour or two in some teryiaki sauce. Then skewer with pineapple chunks and broil or grill...perfect and super easy & everyone always loves them!
You could also do bacon wrapped scallop or shrimp - those are super easy and delicious.
fried corn tortilla with pink sauce
1. Stuffed mushrooms (stuffed with sweet italian sausage)
2. Bruschetta (very easy, no need to keep hot and good)
3. Skewers with cheese, small cherry tomatoes, basil leaves. Again, very very easy.
4. Chips and homemade guacamole is good too. For the guac, mash avocadoes, add some salso, toss in a little cilantro if you want and bam, yummy YUMMY!
chicken wings.
A huge hit at everyone of my parties thruout the years is my mexican mini cornbread muffins
I get the jiffy mix of cornbread because it tends to turn out more most than the others
I add in a can of cream of corn
can of diced mild green chilis
sharp cheddar cheese or if you want a kick use Pepperjack cheese
Oh these are so yummy and everyone can just pop them.
Another is real simple actually two that you can do on those large frenchbreads that you get from the bakery
Cut french bread in halfs
Spread on either
Mixture
Mayo
Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Mild green chilis
Bake until brown and melted
Another is to top with a large can of chili con carne- with beans or without and top with cheese and bake.
Cut into bite sized pieces.
You must first marinade the fingers in a mixture of Cape brandy, honey and piri-piri. Then you can braai them. The flesh will shrink during cooking, and then people will be able to hold them easily by the bit of bone sticking out at the end.
mini red skin potaotes. They are cold with sour cream cheese and bacon on top. Fast and easy and yummy! and healthy!
