Comments: This recipe was a huge success at a small gathering of girlfriends. Everyone thought I slaved for hours over it, but in reality, it was a no brainer. Very little prep work, and immense satisfaction. Recommened for appetizers, finger foods or just because. Thanks for the wonderful compliments!!!
