Our Favorite Frozen Appetizers to Serve at Your Next Party


Nature’s Rancher Beef Meatballs
You might originally buy these bite-sized meatballs for your kids, but I promise you’ll start snacking on them before too long! Nature’s Rancher beef meatballs are our Test Kitchen’s favorite meatballs. Dunk them in marinara sauce, douse ’em in teriyaki sauce or enjoy them as-is for a tasty snack. I’ve even used them to make my lunch meatball sandwich in a pinch. (Or you can dress ’em up by making one of these frozen meatball recipes!)

Chef Bombay Mini Butter Chicken Naanpanadas
Introducing your soon-to-be latest obsession: Chef Bombay butter chicken naanpanadas. These crave-able bites transform everyone’s favorite Indian dish into a flavorful appetizer everyone will love. Not only do these snacks include a classic butter chicken filling, but they’re tucked inside naan bread cinched together like an empanada.

TGI Fridays Loaded Potato Skins
There’s nothing better than a creamy potato stuffed with cheese and bacon. You don’t need a restaurant to enjoy this appetizer with these frozen TGI Fridays potato skins. Whip up a batch of homemade ranch and enjoy this tasty snack in the comfort of your own home.

Trader Joe’s Mac and Cheese Bites
These mini mac and cheese bites are absolutely satisfying when all you want is something hot and crunchy. This app is over-the-top cheesy with a blend of cheddar, Havarti, Swiss and gouda cheeses. They’ve even made our list of our top Trader Joe’s frozen food items.

El Monterey Chicken and Cheese Taquitos
They’re crunchy, cheesy and protein-packed. What more could you want from a snack? These taquitos make a quick-and-easy party appetizer if you plate them up with a side of guacamole.

Good & Gather Potstickers
If you don’t have a box of potstickers in your freezer, you’re missing out. They’re the most versatile frozen food on the planet! You can pan-fry them to serve as a snack or appetizer, but you can also add them to chicken broth to make a potsticker soup. Dinner in an instant!

Market Pantry Mini Corn Dogs
Everything tastes better when it’s mini! These cornmeal-battered cocktail franks pack a ton of flavor into a tiny little package. Making these mini corn dogs fancy is easy, too. Get inspired with our hot dog recipes.

P.F. Chang’s Egg Rolls
Nothing satisfies my hunger cravings like an egg roll. Crunchy on the outside, warm and savory on the inside, and completed with a sweet-and-spicy dipping sauce. Forget going through the trouble to wrap and fry them yourself and keep a package of these on hand instead.
