Flaky Guacamole Cups

Pass up the gooey, cheesy appetizers at the next holiday party – make these bites of creamy guacamole in crispy, flaky phyllo cups instead! You’ll get the same decadent experience but with healthy fats and lots of vitamins! Make these no more than an hour before serving them for the best appearance.
