I think this is one I will make for T'day. In the interest of cost, I will omit the slices of salmon wrapped around the balls, and just use the rest of the recipe to make mini salmon spread balls with toothpicks. My family with love them!

I'll be perusing the other appetizer recipes in this section, looking for light stuff.

Qsis, another idea - in place of wrapping the lollipops with smoked salmon - perhaps rolling them in finely chopped almonds, macadamias or pistachios.
