These are just the perfect elegant little bites for a cocktail party or Thanksgiving h’ors d’oeuvres table. I love one-handed h’ors d’oeuvres that you can just pop into your mouth without having to put your champagne down, right?! Efficiency, people. Efficiency.
They’re also simple and quick to make, yet they look fancy and impressive to guests. A bonus fo’ sho’. Oh – and they’re definitely a cleaner, healthier option than most holiday starters. We like!
