Five Ingredient Holiday Appetizer Recipes

• Devils on Horseback
  The combination of dates and bacon with cheese in these little bites is superb. 'Angels on Horseback' use water chestnuts instead of dates.
• Bacon Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
  Make this appetizer ahead of time and let it sit in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
• Mini Polenta Sandwiches
  Crisp little rounds of polenta are the 'bread' around tomatoes, cheese, and basil. Yum.
• Cheese Puffs
  These little cheesy puffs are crisp and they melt in your mouth!
• Pesto Torte
  This gorgeous torte has the colors of Christmas!
• Crockpot Crab Spread
  Creamy, cheesy, melty crab filled spread is perfect for the holidays.
• Baked Brie with Peaches
  Use frozen peaches in this simple recipe since fresh peaches are out of season.
• Pear Blue Cheese Crostini
  I love the combination of sweet pear with nutty, flavorful blue cheese. Yum.
• Smoked Salmon Pizza
  Smoked salmon is an elegant ingredient that elevates this pizza to another realm.
• Parmesan Breadsticks
  Make a lot of these little crisp breadsticks because they'll go fast!

  You can omit the turkey in these little shells for a simpler appetizer.

  This cold sparkling punch is perfect to accompany any of these appetizers.
