You know if I make these you have to come help me eat them, right? There’s no way I can eat them all by myself, and the other half isn’t going to touch them.
Maybe they freeze well.. because they look freaking fantastic.
These would serve well to make little sandwiches from the leftover Easter ham…a slice of ham, a slice of extra sharp Cheddar and a dollop of mango chutney….Yum.
