When the sun is shining and you have a glass of fizz in hand, there's no time to stop for a full-on, sit-down meal.
We much prefer something dainty to nibble on while we natter away the warm hours in the garden. So why not give these incredibly simple recipes a go.
Here, OK! shares with you the tastiest, bite-sized canapes that will wow your guests for any special occasion this summer. They look so fancy you'll fool guests into thinking you've spent hours prepping, but in reality they're very easy and super quick to make for even the most amateur of chefs.
