Re the brie: Do you have to remove all the rind or is it edible? Thanks!

Does anyone have the recipe for the cute little buckeye snowmen? They're pictured in a 2008 party by Donna. Thanks!

Thanks so much for so "unselfishly" sharing all the appetizer recipes. I'm looking forward to trying several of the dishes.

Here are a few of my most popular appetizers - people will gobble them up in NO TIME FLAT! All of these are SUPER QUICK to whip up, but can be made from scratch if you're a purist

Spinach & Artichoke Wontons

- 1 jar Tostitos Spinach & Artichoke dip (Or the Tastefully Simple dip mix works great too!)
- 1 pkg of wonton wrappers (found in the produce section)
- shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350°.

Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray, and line each cup with a wonton shell. Carefully press it into the cup (especially careful if using a mini-muffin tin).

Bake about 5 minutes or until wrappers are lightly golden. Remove from oven, fill with spinach & artichoke dip, and sprinkle with cheese. Return to oven and bake about 5 more minutes or until cheese is bubbling.

Serve warm, if possible.

***
Pastry Puff Brie Bites (be warned, these are SERIOUSLY addictive! Make extra to compensate for how many you'll snack on while preparing them!)

- 1 pkg frozen pastry puff, thawed & cut into small squares
- 1 8oz round of Brie, cut into cubes (I remove the rind because I don't like it!)
- 1 small jar apricot or seedless raspberry fruit spread

Preheat oven to 350° and spray muffin tin with cooking spray.

Place one square of thawed pastry puff into each tin, carefully. Bake until lightly golden. Gently press middle of puff down and insert a cube of Brie into each. Add a small amount of fruit spread to each and return to oven, baking just until Brie is slightly melted.

This was THE hit at my party. I. Wanted something different and it was so easy. I made the dip and roasted the sweet potatoes the day before and got spicy chicken sausages that come fully cooked at Trader Joes and then just heated it all up in the toaster oven just before the party and stacked them on little appetizer forks. Everyone loved it!!!!

I created a new webpage of 20+ appetizers, with recipes and photos. Most of them from my past cookie exchanges, a few from other party hosts that shared and went into my newsletters. There's also 3 great punch recipes.
