nibbly
Inviting small bites
Nibbly describes food meant for nibbling—small bites eaten casually rather than as a proper meal.
It often applies to snacks or appetizers: We put out some nibbly bits for the guests.
The word can also describe a mood of wanting to snack: I'm feeling nibbly but not actually hungry.
