Appetizers are small first course dishes presented before the entree or main meal.


These are typically served at the beginning of the meal in order to inspire the appetite.

Frequently referred to as the "First Course." These normally consist of small portions of cold or hot foods (such as a salad, egg roll, crab cakes, buffalo wings etc) which are intended to set the digestive fluids to their duties and in doing so whet the appetite for the other courses to come.

Different cultures will have their own particular variations, for example:

  • Tapas (Spain)
  • Mezedakia (Greece)
  • Antipasto (Italy)


Although normally served before a main course, appetizers also make ideal finger food for parties and entertaining. You may also like to create a whole meal beased on selection of different appetizers.

These appetizers are part of our collection of over 60,000 recipes.

Popcorn Snowmen

 

Ingredients

4 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cup mini marshmallows
9 cup popped popcorn
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tbsp milk
1 gumdrops, cinnamon candies, fruit leather, jelly bean



 

Preparation

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the
marshmallows and cook, stirring often, until melted and syrupy, about
5 minutes. Place the popped popcorn in a large lightly greased
shallow pan. Pour the syrup over the popcorn, tossing to coat evenly.
While still warm, form 6 balls about 5" in diameter from the coated
popcorn for the bottom sections, giving the balls flat bases so the
snowmen will stand. Form 6 balls about 3-1/2" in diameter for the
middle sections. Then form 6 balls about 2" in diameter for the top
sections. Stir in the confectioners' sugar and milk together until
smooth. Use the icing to stack three popcorn balls of decreasing
sizes into a snowman, then attach candies to decorate. (Gumdrops for
hats, fruit leather for scarves, etc.)

 

 

Servings: 6
