Florentine Almond Artichoke Mounds image

I always enjoyed traditional artichoke-cheese dip, and for a party, I wanted to create a new appetizer that was a spin on that. This original creation is a bit reminiscent of the dip recipe, and works well on a buffet. -Sherry Johnston, Green Cove Springs, Florida

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these didn't turn out very well. They were kind of bland and the texture was off.

These were a little too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

I'm not a big fan of artichokes, but I actually really enjoyed these. The almond flavor was really strong and the texture was nice and crispy.

These were easy to make and turned out great! I served them with a side of marinara sauce and they were a hit.

These were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add some more mayonnaise or sour cream next time.

I've been making these for years and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add some extra cheese to the top before baking and they come out perfectly golden brown and delicious.

I made these for my family and they were a big success. The artichokes gave them a nice savory flavor and the almonds added a bit of crunch. I will definitely be making these again.
