This recipe was really well-written. You said to slowly smooth the quac over the salsa. Most would have used carefully, but slowly was exactly what was needed to be done. The dish was fun to put together and was a big hit at the Halloween party. We’ll be making this ever year from now on. Reply
I’m a confused regarding how many people the recipe feeds. For the cheese sticks it states 4-6 so does it mean it feeds 4 to 6 people? If I want to feed 14 people do I enter 14? What does the -6 actually stand for? Thank you Reply
Yes, feeds 4 up to 6 people, depending on how hungry guests are/how many other appetizers are being served. If you’re only serving the cheese sticks to 14 people, you can enter in 14. Reply
