About

This is a traditional Spanish tapas treat. It's so easy, but everyone loves it for its simplicity and sinfulness.

It's great to bring as an hors d'ouvre for a party, b/c you can prepare it on a baking sheet b/f the party, bring a lovely platter, then bake it at the party house and serve. If you pass it, on the platter, it's a great way to meet and greet your guests!

If you have any left over (doubtful) believe it or not, they're great cold the next day!

Enjoy!
