I have made these twice now - once for a NYers eve party in the desert & I made them ahead of time & froze them & the 2nd time was last night for a dinner party. Both times they were a hit! I love having so much because it's great for a crowd & the leftovers are easy to reheat for impromptu appetizers!

These were awesome! Made them for a work food day and they were gone within 2 hours. Everyone wanted the recipe.
