Now that we’re celebrating the Christmas holiday season, having the right appetizer can make the difference between a ho hum party and one your dinner guests will remember fondly.
Here’s a delicious and fun party friendly appetizer recipe for Mini Macaroni and Cheese Appetizers from the folks at Yum Sugar.
The recipe uses smoked paprika, but if you don’t have it, regular paprika will work also. However, if you haven’t had the pleasure of trying smoked Spanish paprika, this recipe is the perfect excuse to give this wonderful and versatile spice a try!
Enjoy!
