Caprese Pops

I was on appetizer duty for an Italian family dinner this past weekend and my ever faithful trio of tomato, basil and mozzarella was an obvious choice. This is a great way to enjoy the flavors of Caprese in bite sized portions with a fun presentation.

There's no wrong way to eat Caprese.
