GARLIC BREAD BITES

Garlic Bread Bites image

These garlic bread bites are ridiculously easy to make and insanely tasty! To make them extra cheesy, sprinkle the tops with more mozzarella cheese after taking them out of the oven the second time. Return them to the oven until the cheese is melted. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. -Anna Bowden, Littleton, Colorado
