This hors d'Oeuvre is relatively easy to produce, and makes a great way to keep your guests happy while waiting for the main event. And with only six ingredients, it's a snap to put together. Actually, I’m make a bunch of these up for one of my clients, and I’ll probably save a few for my July 4th party coming up this week.
