I love artichokes so I was happy to find this one. Makes a good party appetizer!
If you're serving these appetizers at a party, use a hot tray, griddle, or bun warmer to keep them warm at the serving table.

Dont have to have a party to have these. At 42 calories per serving I make them and store them covered in the fridge then warm them up and eat them with reduced fat crackers when I want a snack. :smooched: Good stuff!!!
