OMG, that is so good!!!  I put whole black peppercorns in with my preserves for a little added kick.  I have a great homemade caramel corn recipe that I make...I can hardly call it just an appetizer, because we put it out and munch on it all day!

If you like it hot we sever Stuffed Hot peppers with sausage and cheese sitting in tomatoe sauce. And nobake Cheesecake.

sea scallops wrapped in bacon, grilled, then served with a spicy sweet sesame dipping sauce.  cold shrimp with citrus marinade served in a lettuce wrap.  getting hungry here.....

I agree with the scallops in bacon ApriBambino those are great!! Also my homemade cheeseball. So simple and gone in seconds!! I wish the holidays were here!! Fun Fun.. .

Homemade Peanut Butter Fudge!!!!  Have to make sure to have plenty on hand because everyone loves it!

It is fun, the best part about the holidays is preparing foods we don't usually make during the the rest of the year, and we enjoy them so much more.  Can't wait to get everything started :)

I don't serve much at holidays, but I eat plenty :)  My fav appetizers are my mom's veggie dip and my dad's deviled eggs.  Yum Yum!

My sister makes a fabulous and very spicy chicken wing, well many, lol, with a variety of dipping sauces to suit every taste. After eating about 3 wings I'm ready to call the fire department YIKES!

Yummy cranberry, walnut, and lemon gelatin!

Pumpkin Roll, and Rum balls,and don't forget the Pumpkin Pie.

I LOVE mini pumpkin pies, creamy crab dip and of course bacon-wrappon little smokies.

My mother-in-law makes an amazing french onion/almond dip though. I swear that I gain 10 pounds wtih just that stuff!

I make deviled eggs as well as ham rollups that are always a big hit! Easy to do too. Just buy sliced smoked ham, and in a bowl combine cream cheese, a tad of worteshire sauce, and onion soup mix, Spread this on the ham, roll up, cut in bite sized pieces and put a decorative toothpick in each one to hold. Big hit at our home and usually gone in minutes!
