So easy to make, & wonderfully tasty little bites, too! I made them according to the recipe & used a red current jam, although I was a bit generous with the poppy seeds! These were just for the 2 of us, but I now have them scheduled for including on my finger food counter for one of my next monthly groups! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
