Chocolate-covered strawberries are a popular finger food.
One of the things many guests look forward to at weddings is the food. Other than the cake, a wedding should provide plenty of small finger foods for the guests to munch on. When choosing which foods to have prepared, keep in mind any diabetics, or people with allergies, who may be attending the event. Here are some ideas for wedding finger foods.
Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
Chocolate-covered strawberries are easy to make. You will need some strawberries and candy bark (the amount depends on how many you want to make). You can use any kind of bark, like almond, butterscotch, vanilla or chocolate almond. If you want, cut the leaves from the top of the strawberries. Rinse the berries in cool water, then dry before continuing. Melt the bark in the microwave. When the bark is melted, use your fingers to dip each strawberry into the bark. Lay each strawberry on a cookie sheet until the bark has hardened. Store the berries in the refrigerator until time to serve.
Crackers and Cheese
Spread soft cream cheese over each cracker. Slice up some cheddar, colby, Monterey jack and provolone into small pieces. Top each cracker with a piece of the cheese. You can also add a small slice of meat, such as ham, turkey or chicken, or a slice of grape or black olive.
Mini Kabobs
These kabobs are simple, just three items on a toothpick. You can choose from a wide variety: cheese cubes, green olives, bacon, cubes of cooked meat, fruits and vegetables. Green olives with a cube of cheese and bacon are a tasty favorite.
Mini Sausages and Pineapple
Mini sausages should be cooked in a slow cooker, along with some barbecue sauce and pineapple chunks. You can include a tablespoon or two of grape jelly for added flavor. Once the sausages are hot, slide each onto a toothpick with a chunk of pineapple.
Blue Cheese Bites
In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup of margarine with 4 oz. of blue cheese. Open a can of biscuits. Use your hands to mix in some margarine and cheese into each biscuit. Lay the biscuits out and cut each one into quarters. Roll the bites into balls and place them on a cookie sheet. Bake the bites in the oven, at 325 degrees, for about 20 minutes or until they are lightly brown.
