AUNTIE NAN'S HAM & ASPARAGUS SPIRALS



Auntie Nan's Ham & Asparagus Spirals image

My sister introduced me to these. They are always a big hit at buffets. Costco is a good place to get the supplies for these, as they sell almost all the ingredients (except maybe the squeeze cheese) in large quantities and at a decent price. These are also good just as a sandwich wrap. ;) Ingredient amounts are approximate, varying according to taste and quantities desired.
