    Try Party Pinwheels on Allrecipes.com. Also, Fiesta Pinwheels recipe on Tasteofhome.com. I made them for a party and they were a hit. You can add your own variations.

    Cocktail meatballs always seem to go over well. These turkey cocktail meatballs are really good, http://allrecipes.com/video/328/how-to-make-turkey-cocktail-meatballs/?prop24=hn_slide5_Easy-Cocktail-Meatballs&evt19=1, though I usually omit the peppers as some people don't like spicy. Another sauce that usually goes over well is simply mix equal parts grape jelly and cocktail sauce.

    Bump to keep this topic going... always looking for appetizers myself!

    I find that "kebabs" tend to travel well, and disappear fast... I like to make mixed fruit skewers (just get the long bamboo skewers and chopped pineapple, kiwifruit, strawberries, grapes, whatever fruits you like!). Put a little Cool Whip (I use the light) in a bowl on the side for dipping.

    I also do savory skewers... try skewering (with a toothpick) baby tomato halves with basil leaf, and those little balls of fresh mozzerella cheese... drizzle over a balsamic vinaigrette... put a bowl of bread rounds out for those who want it. Yum!

    If you're feeling very "gourmet", there's a great recipe for cucumber feta rolls (held together with a toothpick) here: http://www.goodlifeeats.com/2011/12/cucumber-feta-rolls-holiday-recipe-exchange.html#_a5y_p=988391 .

    This isn't a recipe; basically a hollowed out watermelon cut to look like a baby crib and fruit balls, berries inside with fruit cut and skewered together to form a baby's head... adorable, and another healthy idea for your appetizers... http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/originals/cd/3a/d8/cd3ad873adaaca997a4e34a3944fd370.jpg .

    Have fun!

    These sound amazing also. Never would have thought about the fruit kabobs.... Wonderful. Again, thank you.
