Easy to Make Hard to Forget

Wow! Just wow. This is what Easy to Make, Hard to Forget is all about! These little drummies were incredibly tasty little bites and the glaze was so simple to make! A little Colorado rain dampened my excitement when I wasn't able to get these on the grill, but the old standby stovetop came to the rescue.
