One of my favorite things about the holidays is the food. I especially like to make and try new appetizers. Valentine’s Day appetizers are especially fun because they’re usually easy. I’ve been known to make a meal out of appetizers, too. They’re fun to make and more fun to eat… like these Prosciutto Cherry Bites.
If you like cherries, prosciutto, and mozzarella cheese, you will LOVE this appetizer. The combination of flavors is heavenly.
Your sweetheart will love this Valentine’s Day appetizer.
They’re also the perfect party appetizers. It’s an easy recipe to make and your guests will be singing your praises.
