These are a simple little bowls you can fill with anything you desire from savory appetizers to mouth watering desserts! I love them sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and then filled with vanilla or coffee flavored ice cream drizzled with some hot fudge sauce, perfect for Cinco de mayo but just use flour tortillas instead of wontons! You can go from salads to desserts all in the same appetizer party frenzy. See some of the suggestions below just to name a few! Get your imagination going you can make a whole lot of different appetizers for your party gatherings and tailor these to all your guests favorites!
