These snacks may look bite sized but they are absolutely packed with flavour. Hats off to Marina (@chefmarinie) for coming up with this tasty flavour combo of venison slices, cream cheese, and chimichurri for some zesty freshness. Good thing it only takes less than 15 mins to make because you’ll definitely be asking for more.
Marina says, “These are perfect as appetisers for parties or pre-dinner snacks (because we all love our snacks)”
