Made these for a party and they were a hit. The flavours work really well together to make a unique and enjoyble appetizer. thanks for sharing! -
these are yummy and quick. i added black beans and would have missed them if they were there. will make again! -
My hubby and I both enjoyed this guily pleasure. I think next time I will only use half the chili powder and double up the cream cheese. I served them up in a new way with some honey mixed with jalapeno jelly. -
So very delicious!!! I made (member) Heather U's Edabroccamole and I repeat, it really hit the spot! My first experience w/my Cuisinart fryer. It was so good there was no guilt from it being so fattening... will try different vegetables each time. -
Awesome recipe that tastes great evern cold! I made these for lunches today and they were a hit here. I used low fat cream cheese and it worked fine. Made for ZWT 3!
