I am making these for my holiday party tonight! But, I will probably leave off the pecans. I’ll let you know how it goes :-)

These were quick,easy, and tasted great too! I made them for a tailgate snack…but I will make them for my holiday snack trays too! I did sprinkle some of the extra shredded cheese on the tops of mine before I baked them…I like the added crunch of the “burned” cheese…made them look a little more like a casual snack too.
