Miranda's Mix Ups: These are meant as appetizers but I love them! So I made them as a "meal" for our Monday night group! I didn't have cayenne pepper sauce or red pepper sauce so I just used whatever pepper sauce I had in the fridge (I think chili pepper?). Still just as yummy and had a great kick to it!
