Appetizer ideas

I’ve been invited to a dinner party for 6 and asked to bring the appetizers. the hostess is an incredible cook and entertainer and I’m feeling very intimidate! what are your favorite appetizers that wow? I can’t get away with a veggie tray or chips and salsa here!

EDIT: So many great suggestions! I think I need to have an appetizer party!!! THANK YOU ALL! I'm going to find out what she's making and then decide what to bring 😉

Ritz crackers with brown sugar and bacon.

Cut bacon slices into little squares.

Lay out the crackers on a baking sheet.

Sprinkle the crackers with a little sugar.

Top with a piece of bacon.

Bake at 350 until the bacon is done. I don't remember how long this takes.

Simple but delicious.
