In my opinion, bite-size snacks must meet certain criteria. They should be visually appealing and make you want to eat them. On the other hand, they should be easy to eat in one or two bites, and we should avoid sauces or other ingredients that might make our hands dirty. If you have crackers, avocado and a few other ingredients at home, you can make yummy snacks that are fast and easy to make, in addition to looking pretty and pairing well with a nice glass of wine or a cold beer. What are your favorite bite-size snacks?
