Artichoke Dip Pockets
Transform your favorite dip into these Artichoke Dip Pockets. Made with the ingredients you love plus a few surprises. Like fried salami and dried tomatoes. These pockets have tons of flavor, are made with store bought dinner rolls and make the perfect appetizer for any party or your hungry game watchers.
First, thaw the dinner rolls (about 1 hour). (I used Rhodes) Shape into 5-inch rounds and fill.
Press a fork around the outside to seal, prick with a fork and brush with an egg wash.
Baked to perfection!
