Note: This recipe is as delightfully delicious as it is quick and easy to put together. I have prepared it quite a few times for various gatherings and it has always been a hit. Crazy thing is that even though it is primarily intended as a snack course or appetizer, I have actually made some large batches and served it with a seafood bisque and salad for dinner. Consider making it for your guests this holiday season, I’m sure they’ll love it.
