Oh, please. Deviled eggs. Inhaled every single time.

I also prefer individual finger foods. For dessert ideas, I’d make smitten kitchen’s brown butter rice krispie treats and make them in a small pan so they are high and I’d cut them small - or, I’d get small clear plastic cups and put a layer of plain whole fat yogurt, then lemon curd and too with a few berries and crumbled granola or graham crackers.

I prefer individual finger foods - I think things like baked brie are awkward to eat in a group. Spanakopita, crackers already prepared with a cheese spread and fig jam, cranberry brie bites in puff pastry, flatbread sliced in individual pieces, toasted ravioli, etc. I have also put hummus in little individual cups and stuck celery and carrot sticks in the hummus.

Bake some frozen spanakopita

Baked brie en croute is always popular.

Trader Joe’s chocolate. You could even make a charcuterie board with it. So easy - and everyone likes to nibble on their holiday options.

This is your answer right here. I would never eat baklava, even after living in the middle east for years--I just don't like it. I will always eat cheese/charcuterie, some people won't. There is no such thing as an app or dessert that everyone loves or will eat.

I should clarify that my group had both men and women and was older than your group. I don’t know if your group would have the same preferences.

A nice cheese plate. Soft cheese, hard cheese, some grapes or pitted olives, nice crackers.

Baked Brie? Chocolate covered strawberries? Caprese skewers?

Going to an evening holiday party - all women in our 40s. We are all supposed to bring something to share - like snacks/apps or dessert. I feel like nothing I bring ever gets eaten at these type of get togethers. Any ideas that are always a hit? Something I can either buy made or make with minimal effort (maybe that's why my offerings never get eaten . . . )
