Pampered Chef- Avacado Salsa Cups

I made this appetizer for my first Pampered Chef party.   Actually, I made Mr. make the recipe because I was too busy preparing for the party! Anyhow, they were so easy and my guests loved them.  One of my favorite Pampered Chef products is the Mini Muffin Pan.  I use mine all the time and always make one recipe at each party using it.  It's a top 5 in my kitchen.  From bite sized appetizers to desserts, you can't go wrong.  To order one, visit my site. Make sure to add this recipe to your fall football party list!
