Since you want to save some money, you decided to make the appetizers yourself. The only problem is, you don’t know what easy appetizers to whip up.

Worry no more. Here are a couple of easy but yummy appetizer ideas that’ll spice up your black-tie party.
Bacon-Wrapped Mushroom Appetizer

You’ll need:

• 10 slices of thick smoked-bacon
• cracked black pepper
• 20 medium-sized button mushrooms.

1. Cut the bacon slices half-crosswise, and then cut the stems off the mushrooms. Sprinkle pepper on the bacon slices, then wrap the slices around the mushrooms. You don’t need to use toothpicks.
2. Put the bacon-wrapped mushrooms on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake them for 15 at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, then transfer the baking sheet under the broiler for three minutes, to make the bacon crispy. Serve.

Mini Breadsticks With Olive Tapenade Appetizer Dip

You’ll need:

• 1 jar Olive tapenade
• 11 ounce tube breadsticks
• Fresh parsley

1. Separate the breadstick’s perforated dough, then cut each strip into three pieces. Cut the again vertically in half, to make 72 pieces.
2. Stretch each breadstick strip to 2 inches, then twist and press the ends onto the baking sheet.
3. Bake them at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 to 7 minutes, then turn them over and bake for 2 to 5 minutes again or until they become golden-brown.
4. Serve with the olive tapenade.
