So yummy!!! Makes a great snack or appetizer. Thanks for posting this, I would have never thought of something so simple. These are great dipped in ranch dressing.

I can't believe this hasn't been reviewed yet. Made them tonight and we all loved them. I can't wait to try it with mozarella and cheddar next time. Thanks kelly for a great, easy recipe and for another hit and keeper.. :) faith58
