OK…I can’t believe I haven’t posted this one yet. This is my favorite snack/appetizer. It’s spicy, but good spicy. Serve it up and watch it go. The preparation time is a matter of minutes and it’s a whole lot better than any store bought version. Last year, I showed my friend’s teenaged son how to make it and he makes it all the time.
