If New Year's Eve has lost its appeal, you may be hanging with the wrong crowd—or attending bashes with ho-hum food. Make this year's party one to be remembered, with toast-worthy appetizers that will give your guests another reason to celebrate.

CHEESE
Little slits cut into Warm Garlic-Rosemary-Stuffed Camembert cradle slices of garlic and rosemary leaves. The cheese round is then baked, producing a gooey fondue-like dip.

STUFFED MUSHROOMS
French Onion Soup Stuffed Mushrooms mimic the flavors of the famous soup by cooking the onions in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stuffing them into mushroom caps and topping them cheese.

CRAB DIP
Your guests won't be able to resist diving into a bubbling crock of Hot Stove-Top Crab Dip, which gets its seductive creaminess from a combo of mayo and cream cheese.

MEATBALLS
Sweet and savory elements find a way to coexist deliciously in Maple Meatballs, single-serve starters that simmer in a sauce spiked with maple syrup, chili sauce and chives.

MINI POT PIES
Mini Chicken Pot Pies cleverly use bread rounds as crusts, filling them with a creamy veggie and chicken mixture to create these adorable appetizers.
