I just made these for our Father's Day BBQ Cookout we had this past Sunday on 6/23/13. These little bite size goodies are a delicious treat for any occasion. I've been making them for 20 years now and they are always a hit & quickly disappear. They are also a great snack to make to sneak some veggies into the diet. (If making for a party it might be good to double the recipe.) If you have any left overs you can always snack on them the next day for lunch or a midday snack.

    Wrap your rolls individually with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

    When ready to serve slice with a steak knife or serrated edge knife and cut medium slices. You should be able to get about 10 slices per roll. The end pieces I usually eat or give to my nephews. Serve on a festive tray and enjoy.
