ALMOND CHEDDAR APPETIZERS
I always try to have a supply of these appetizers on hand in the freezer. If guests drop in, I just pull some out and reheat to serve. They work great as a snack, for brunch or along with a lighter lunch. -Linda Thompson, Southampton, Ontario

BACON WRAPPED DATES WITH ALMONDS
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise...THESE ARE WONDERFUL. They are always the very first thing to go at a party. When I catered I always told my customers to order 2-3 times more of these than anything else. Most people expect scallops but are pleasantly surprised by the sweet wonderful flavor inside. A combination of sweet, crunchy, salty and smoky is a real winner! You won't be sorry you went out on a limb to try these. You can prep ahead of time, freeze and then pull them out of the freezer and bake right before the party.

Tips:
- When making almond appetizers, choose blanched almonds. Blanching removes the skins, making them have a milder flavor and a smoother texture.
- Toast almonds before using them. Toasting brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant.
- Use a variety of nuts in your appetizers. Almonds pair well with walnuts, pecans, pistachios, and cashews.
- Add other ingredients to your appetizers to enhance the flavor. Dried fruits, such as cranberries, apricots, and raisins, are popular choices. You can also add spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Serve almond appetizers at room temperature or slightly chilled. This will help the flavors to shine.
