Great little finger food appetizer. REALLY good with your favorite brand of sweet chili sauce for dipping. My sister made it for a new years party she had and everyone loved these. She found this recipe off of another recipe website, but I wanted to put it on here because I use recipezaar...not the competing website for recipes!
