Italian

We enjoyed these tonight for our Friday Neighbor Night, when we have nothing but finger foods. They were great! I used hot pepperoncini, and hubby said we should use jalapenos next time, but I think I'll stick with the pepperoncinis! He did make a nice suggestion that a little proscuitto might be nice! We had anemic tomatoes, I can't wait to do this with my own garden grown tomatoes! I found this recipe in Taste of Home Magazine.
