Vegan Finger Foods: More Than 100 Crowd-Pleasing Recipes for Bite-Size Eats Everyone Will Love

Brownie Nut Butter Cups : page 154
To make these, you'll only need enough mini-muffin tins to make 36 brownies (for me, that took three) and an ice cream scoop for the batters. These batters are really sticky, so don't torture yourself trying to use a spoon.
There are no crazy ingredients, and the recipe is simple but it does have several steps. Bake the brownies, cool them, then top with a dollop of peanut butter mix and chopped vegan chocolates.
Despite following the directions-spraying the tins, no substitutions, cooling in two stages-those brownies did NOT want to come out of the muffin tins. I had to jimmy each of them out with a spoon. Their texture was fine though. Everyone liked them (in fact, they fought over the last piece), and bonus-they really look fancy when you are done.

Tiny Tomato Pies : page 82
These are a fun, unusual appetizer, and despite their appearance are pretty easy to make. The crust is just pastry flour and olive oil. The filling includes tofu, spinach, basil, nutritional yeast and cashews-plus some other odds and ends. The only equipment you need are a food processor and mini-muffin tins. The tins are needed for many recipes in this book.
I was a bit worried about the amount of filling left over after filling the crusts, but they came out fine and were very popular. They looked almost exactly like the picture in the book, which always thrills me. I think mini-quiche might be a better description.
