If you are hosting a party or even a work function, cheese straws are perfect as an appetiser or a snack. They are easy to nibble on while mingling and holding a glass of wine in the other hand. They will also steal the show at the dinner table and can be enjoyed before or with the main meal. You might want to make extra to enjoy when you put up your feet after the guests have left!
