These were so good as a quick and easy appetizer. Very elegant paired with a glass of white wine.

Yummy Yummy. This super simple and super tasty. Use as an appetiser munchie or as a side with salad or pasta. Either way it's a winner! Thanks Kitz.

Thanks for another great recipe KittenCal! Wow, these are good! I was looking for an easy last-minute appetizer for Thanksgiving, and found this. I didn't have a baguette on hand, but I did have a loaf of rustic sourdough bread in the freezer and it worked just fine. I used a mesh tea-ball to sprinkle on the sugar. Interesting flavor combination...but it works :).
