Easy Chicken Almond Puffs

Today's post reminds me of my Grammy Kresge! She is such a good cook and any time we have a family party or get together she brings half the food herself, I swear! Right now she and my grandpa are serving a mission in the Philippines! We are so proud, but boy do we miss them. Anyway, she would frequently bring these chicken almond puffs to a big gathering, and they are a great, frugal way to fill a crowd! If you have never had these before, they are sort of a cheaper replacement for sandwiches. They look fancy, but don't be intimidated! They are super easy to throw together and this recipe makes a TON.
