New Year's Eve Bonus

Tonight as part of our New Year's Eve tradition instead of dinner we will nibble throughout the evening on snacks and appetizers.  So as a New Year's bonus I am posting two of the appetizer recipes, I plan to make tonight, that were originally posted on Facebook.  Once again, I am not sure from whom I got the recipes, but I give credit where credit is due.
