When I was young and my mother and father entertained friends, this was one of their go-to appetizers. Truth be told I always snuck a few for myself and if by chance there were any leftovers they became a great little lunch or snack. I continue making these today for my own friends and I also continue to sneak a few extra on the side for myself. These freeze well so you can make them ahead and they go well with whatever libations you are serving.
