8/29/2011 09:54:37 PM Report Abusei had to use garlic powder when i made these because i was fresh outta cloves. the spread ended up VERY garlicky, but luckily my garlic-loving friends raved about them. my bff has requested that i make them for her bridal shower.

5/21/2010 07:59:20 PM Report AbuseThere are 24 slices of bread. The instructions say to use one on each end...that would make 12 sliders. Right?
