How much cream cheese and bacon and do you delete the shrimp then or these are in addition to the shrimp?
To be honest, I really just add to taste!! I will bake up a whole thing of bacon, and chop 1/2 into it, then I taste it, if I think it needs more I'll add it. Sometimes the bacon is more salty and I'll use less that I do on other days, depends on the brand and how much sodium they use! I do a full 8 oz of cream cheese!! I do not take anything out!! So yes, I leave the shrimp in! I love shrimp! I just make it with heaping scoops and I'll use more wontons if needed! With the cream cheese in there, you can use it as something else too. What I mean, when I made it at my friends house, We had extra filling so we served some as a spread with crackers and it was a hit too!;)

Am I the only one that read MMP and thought Measure Mix and Pour (somehow I skipped right over the appetizer part)? :blushing: I have the Greek Salad dressing on the brain. Can you tell? I'm anxious to try it, but haven't made salad yet! I have to do that this weekend. :chef:
 
I know these aren't appetizers, but I just pulled them out of the oven so I have to share. I do "Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies" in mine all the time. It's not PC recipe and doesn't take but one tool, but I use it for dessert if I need one to add to a demo. I've got alot of these requested for V-day shows. "Kiss...cookies":)
 
I use the store bought Filo cups cut a small piece of Brie and use a squeez of rasberry jelly---bake for about 10 minutes

Those sound yummy!
 
I love my mini-muffin pan! Here a bunch of more recipes I got here I think. Mini quiche are yummy! I want to try little apple tarts. I like the artichoke cups too.

Dessert - Love to make brownie cups then fill with 2-ingredient fudge using the EAD. Everyone LOVES them!
 
I love my mini muffin pan!! I use it for wonton cups and then mix up cream cheese, diced ham or sometimes crapmeat, green onion, etc and put inside the baked cups. I also use it for Peacan Tassie which is like a staple in my house.
