"This sounds silly, but it was a creation I made up for my dad when I was little. Years later, he still requests it, so I guess my childhood creation can't be all that bad. Its great as an appetizer, or a snack."

This was a real cute snack! I also added some chopped carrot and a little cucumber. Really simple, quick, healthy and the kids loved it. Thanks for the idea. Your childhood ingenuity paid off!

I loved this! What a great name too! I added shredded carrots, cabbage confetti and diced pepperoncinis to it. I think I might try a sweet version by leaving out the peppers and adding dried currants or diced dried apricots. What a hoot! Thanks so much for sharing this simple snack idea.
