Spinach Almond Cheddar Bites are a quick, delicious appetizer that are perfect for any occasion!

I can’t believe the year is almost over, seriously where has it gone? It seems like it was just summer vacation and honestly it still pretty much “feels” like summer here in sunny Florida. The end of the year means New Year’s Eve and that typically means party time. These tasty little bites are easy to make and even easier to enjoy. Good things happen when you combine almonds, spinach, mushrooms and cheese in a flaky warm crust, trust me you are going to love these little bites.

The best part of this recipe is that you can even make them ahead of time and keep them in the fridge or freeze them until you’re ready to heat and serve. So hurry and finalize the rest of your NYE menu and be sure to add these ingredients to your grocery list.

Of course don’t forget to grab a few extra cans of Blue Diamond Almonds, there are so many great varieties to choose from. Plus they make a great hostess gift! I love them so much I have been known to stash a can of the Salt and Vinegar almonds in my purse to keep the pregnancy hunger at bay. I think holiday parties and nuts just seem to go hand in hand, so you’re going to love this simple, slightly more elegant appetizer option.
