Mini meatballs in a crock pot with toothpicks—that weird grape jelly sauce is strangely delicjous, as is the ketchup-cola one (my Midwestern friends introduced me to these!)

Babaganough with pita crisps
Russian eggplant caviar (similar)

Bacon-wrapped tater tots. I forgot the teriyaki sauce and they were still Hoovered.

Most people like those sliced sausages/hot dogs in jelly

TJ's sells olives marinated in lemon. Yum!

I literally need five nights of easy apps to bring to (boosted/vaxxed) gatherings coming up. I can't just show up with a charcuterie board every time, but DH is lactose intolerant, which knocks out 90% of other apps that I can think of. Bonus points if kids might actually eat it too? TIA - my brain is too fried right now!
