Description

A great 4th of July appetizer that includes harvests of the month – watermelon, jalapeño, and mint! It’s a cacophony in your mouth of watery, sweet, and spicy (POP!) with a bite of umami from the pepperoni or cheese, and then a splash of honey sweetness with hint of minty freshness. Try these with friends for the 4th of July!
