Like many folks, you probably whip up the same appetizers year after year for New Year’s Eve. There’s nothing wrong with sticking to tradition. However, if you want to switch things up a bit, below are some tasty and unique appetizers worth trying to help you and your family ring in the new year the best way possible.

1. Bacon-Wrapped Smokies

Tiny sausages are an absolute hit at parties. They’re light yet meaty, making them a guilty pleasure that’s not so guilty after all. Bacon wrapped them, and they just got 10 times better!

2. Savory Appetizer Cheesecake

Cheesecake is great, but so is this savory New Years’ Eve dessert. Say goodbye to your boring cheeseball and hello to this bad boy! It’s perfect for dipping crackers, pita chips, or toasted breads in.

3. Caprese Skewers

A healthier appetizer just got more appealing. Everything in skewer form is cuter, am I right? Serve traditional Caprese on a skewer, topped with a drizzle of balsamic glaze, and you have yourself a light and hearty appetizer.

4. Fried Macaroni Balls

Cheese lovers, unite! A little macaroni in ball form is the perfect cheesy finger food to say goodbye to the current year. For added flair, serve some sauce with your macaroni balls from homemade ranch or marinara sauce to store-bought ketchup or barbecue sauce. It’s your choice!

5. Slow Cooker Glazed Meatballs 

Who doesn’t love a good meatball? Slow cooker meatballs, topped with your favorite glaze, make for a delicious bite to eat, literally. As opposed to a glaze, you can instead go for marinara. Dash a little oregano or basil on your marinara-ed meatball for the perfect final touch.

6. Olive Tapenede Crostinis 

Olive tapenade is an essential for pita chips or pita bread. But serving it on crostinis makes it extra special. Plus, that toasty crunch is top-notch during the colder winter months, making it the perfect appetizer for New Year’s Eve.

7. Cucumber Bites 

Here’s another healthy appetizer you won’t be able to resist! There are numerous ways to switch up this recipe, but one way to do it is to cut several semi-thick cucumber slices. Pipe a mixture of cream cheese, ranch, mayo, garlic salt, and dill onto each cucumber slice. Garnish with a sliced cherry tomato in the piped mixture, and sprinkle a little black pepper on top.

8. Black Truffle Deviled Eggs

Take classic deviled eggs up a notch with a pinch of truffle oil for added flavor and richness. Remember that a little truffle goes a long way! If the flavor of truffle isn’t for you, you can use a little sriracha or avocado instead to also add a unique touch to your deviled eggs.

Conclusion

New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to experience new, exciting appetizers. Forget boring chips and dip; say hello to the new year with happy taste buds. From a savory appetizer cheesecake to warm meatballs covered in glaze, your New Year’s Eve party will be the best yet!
