I never thought my favorite Hors d’Oeuvres could get better– until I stuck it on a stick.
These adorable Caprese Pops are the only thing missing at your summer BBQ party. They are light, refreshing & elegant. I’ll warn you now though; they will be the life of the party. So don’t say I didn’t tell you so!
You can marinate the Bocconcini for up to 3 days in advance. The longer you the let the cheese absorb the flavors of the marinade- the better they will be.
