New Year’s Eve Finger Foods

Feed a party crowd with these New Year’s Eve Finger Foods. Make all of your snacking dreams come true with a ton of sweet and savory nibbles.

Happy “Snacks For Dinner” Week! < — an unofficial holiday week that I made up. I’ll be snacking my way through the next few days, leading up to my favorite snacking evening of all: New Year’s Eve!

After talking with a neighbor about a dilemma she was having for NYE (her and her friends need some sort of dinner, but nobody wants to cook and their group is too big for a restaurant reservation), I figured I would put together a board of New Year’s Eve Finger Foods that eats more like a light dinner.

Plus, it’s become somewhat of a tradition for me to put together an epic platter dinner each December: Check out my Smoked Salmon Crostini Bar from 2015, and the Winter Cheese Board with German Beer Cheese Fondue I made last year!

This party snack platter is easier than it looks, I promise.

I know this board of New Year’s Eve Finger Foods looks pretty epic, and it IS pretty epic. But really, this is one item I made, one thing I heated up in the oven, and 98% stuff I bought at the store.

Please don’t feel like you need every single item. This board is for a BIG crowd, but if your gathering is a little smaller, just cut it down to a few of your favorite things.

What to serve as New Year’s Eve Finger Foods:

• Cheese! –  I used marinated mozzarella balls (gourmet-ish), sliced sharp cheddar (crowd pleaser) and peppermint cheese (conversation starter).
• Cashews, pistachios, peanuts
• Clementines
• Honeycomb – goes great with cheese, and always seems very fitting for a special occasion.
• Vegetable chips
• Spinach & Artichoke Quiche (store bought!) – quiche is awesome for a platter like this because it provides a more filling, meal-type option. It’s also super simple to “make” – simply bake it, cut it up into slices, and serve warm or room temperature.
• Smoked salmon
• Marinated olives + marinated mushrooms – from the olive bar at the store.

• Spinach & Artichoke Stuffed Wontons (recipe below!)
• Cocktail shrimp
• Assorted crackers – The more interesting, the better! I brought crackers home from Germany this fall and hand-carried them on the plane to avoid breakage, because I’m such a cracker fanatic!
• Salami
• Lemon Pepper & Asiago Dip – store-bought, serve warm or cold!
• Pomegranate seeds to garnish the dip
• Chocolate-covered pretzels
• Mini cannoli (store bought, of course)
• Fun, festive cookies

Yield: Makes 12 wontons
