         I swear that I already reviewed this recipe, but I went through all of my lists, and couldn’t find a time when I wrote it up on the blog.

         Actually, I did not create this recipe. My niece, Alaina, made it last year for our family Christmas Party. They were a big hit. I do remember her saying that they were easy to make but rolling them up was trying at times.

         This is a great hors de oeuvre.
