50 Appetizers That'll Keep The Party Busy During The Easter Egg Hunt

Are Reese’s Eggs the best Easter candy? Are Peeps an abomination, or a delight? Is the Easter bunny real? Though we might never reach a consensus on those, we ALL know you gotta eat some real food before you can start in on the candy. You likely have your baked ham, scalloped potatoes, and cheesy baked asparagus covered (if you don't, check out our Easter side dish ideas), but you'll also want some small bites to round out the festive spring feast. These 50 easy appetizer ideas are guaranteed to keep the kids (and adults!) happy—even in a post-Easter egg hunt haze.

We’ve got everything from dips to hand-held apps, with lots in between. Check out our classic baked spinach & artichoke dip or our sour cream & onion dip, or go wilder with a Greek feta dip or our carrot cake dip (great to add something sweet to your spread!). You could try our classic deviled eggs (or our MANY variations on deviled eggs), our boursin-stuffed mushrooms, or crescent-wrapped veggies like our brie & green bean bundles or our asparagus Alfredo bundles—they'll never steer you wrong if you want a foolproof crowd-pleaser you can count on. Hosting a classy soirée and want something a bit above the average apps for your guests? Try our fondue bites, our brown butter radish crostini, or our caramelized onion goat cheese bites—they don't take too much extra work (just a bit of patience for that brown butter and those caramelized onions!), but are still extra special. Missed the Easter egg hunt this year, but still want something sweet? Try our whipped feta with balsamic roasted strawberries, our pineapple cheese ball, or our cast-iron blueberry cornbread (perfect if you’re leaning Southern this Easter).
