Kids love these in addition to adults! Great buffet addition during the holidays.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These are a tasty little appetizer that you can just pop in your mouth. The ranch mixed with cream cheese gives a nice flavor and base for the pinwheels. What gives these a Mexican flair is the green chilies and black olives. Green onions add a bit of freshness. These will be great for a party or a game day snack.
