I’m bringing back an oldie from the archives. This was one of the first recipes I ever posted on the blog and chances are most of you haven’t seen it. The photo doesn’t do them any sort of justice and it’s a recipe I make often this time of year. They’re the perfect nibble to put out with cocktails and a nice alternative to often too heavy appetizers this time of year. Enjoy!!

Let me warn you, these are addictive. I first made these while catering for a big event during the Sundance Film Festival. It was late night, ultra crowded and people were hungry. We passed multiple appetizers but it was so packed that it was hard to navigate the crowds with trays in hand. The same few people hovered by the kitchen door ate everything before we could pass the apps around. I’m glad I had the foresight to make a little something to put at each of the bars. These are the perfect nibble for a cocktail party and I love to put these out when I’m having people over. You can grab a handful and keep mingling. I’ve made these so many times and they are always a hit.

While the perfect party snack, they are also great for an anytime snack! I’ll keep a bowl by my computer or fill a small tupperware to keep in my purse or car for when I’m out and about.With all the snow falling here, I thought these would be perfect to take to the mountain. I always like to have a little something in my pocket for an extra boost of energy when I’m snowboarding. These are great because they don’t freeze (huge!), they are lightweight, and a awesome source of protein. So whether you put a bowl out for guests before Thanksgiving dinner or in your pocket before you hit the slopes, I promise these won’t disappoint!
