Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

Scroll down to watch the video!

The holiday crunch has begun (at least in my house it has).

Last minute shopping, prepping, and wrapping is under way but I wanted to take a quick moment to share this super simple, super delicious appetizer with you guys.

All you have to do is wrap some  prosciutto around some fresh asparagus and you have a warm, crispy, salty, light holiday snack.  If you really want to capture the holidays, be sure to leave some space between the prosciutto and wrap on a diagonal, then you can call it ‘candy cane prosciutto wrapped asparagus’ which will make you look like you are super fun, festive and creative.  Enjoy!
