I was originally planning to make these little gems as a Superbowl snack. However, my husband and I stuffed ourselves so completely with burritos at the beginning of the game that we couldn’t handle anything else! I finally took a crack at these when I made the soup I posted the other day and found them to be pretty good little appetizers. If you’re hosting an Oscar party this weekend, these would be an excellent choice!

Best thing about this recipe: it’s wicked fast and easy. Enjoy!
