Food on a stick and other handheld appetizers can be ideal party food. Not only is it easy for your guests to eat, but it also lessens the mess for you. No need to mess with lots of plates and silverware if the food is already on a stick. Just supply some tiny plates and pretty napkins and you are all set.
Since the big game day is coming up, I wanted to roundup some great recipes for food on a stick and handheld appetizers. There are so many creative ideas from my fellow bloggers that I cannot wait to throw a party. Plus, isn't food on a decorative stick just automatically more fun to eat? It's not just for kids. Finger food is fun for all ages.

This is a good place to start! Our kids don’t really like football, but they LOVE cooking up the appetizers. We don’t usually have a party, we just eat all the food and I watch football alone.
