I loved the idea of these, but thought the end result needed more "oomph". They were a terrific use of garden cucumbers, easy to make, & who doesn't like cream cheese? We liked the pecans & hot sauce, but thought they'd be better with additional seasoning. Maybe ranch mix? I'll enjoy experimenting so thank you for the idea!Reply

I had to take a "finger food" dish into work so I happened to have all the ingredients. I don't eat "raw" cucumbers so I let my co-workers assess the rating. This gets a 4, first for how easy it is to make. The main comment I got back was that it needs more spice....one suggestion was maybe adding some horseradish or more hot sauce. Made for ZWT8 and The Wild Bunch.Reply
