These are wonderful as a party nibble or quick snack, best hot from the oven and while cases are crisp so they don't travel so well for a picnic for example - from the Martinborough cookbook 5th Edition, NZ, North of Wellington near the vineyards. The Davies family make these all the time, know the amounts off by heart and tweak it with other flavours as well. Another easy nibble for kids if you take out the chilli.
