Remember that time when you were stressing about what you were supposed to take to a Halloween get together so you ended up just buying something random from the grocery store, and then you felt bad about it because it wasn’t homemade? Or when you were stressing about taking something to Thanksgiving so you made some pumpkin bread— but then it turned out badly and you banged your head against a wall in despair?
Well despair no more. This recipe is so simple you’re going to be irritated that you had never made it before. The best thing about it is, there are only 4 ingredients, it takes less than 10 minutes to make, and when you’re done you can stick some festive toothpicks in them, put them on a doilied plate, or even wrap them with proscuitto. Seriously.
