The holiday's will be here before we know it! Like everything this year, entertaining this holiday season will be a bit different, but we still have to eat right? One of our families favorite things to do during the holidays is snack! We munch on little finger foods while playing board games, watching movies, or just visiting. So I like I have a few of these yummy appetizers on hand just in case. These puffs are so quick and easy to whip up and can be prepped the night before too! Inside the buttery puff is a filling that is a literal flavor explosion in every bite!
