Preparation:

Prepare a topping, spread, or purée, making sure the consistency is that of frosting. Insert desired tip into pastry bag and then scoop in filling according to pastry bag directions. Pipe filling on Dare Crackers for an especially elegant hors d’oeuvre.

Helpful hints:

Herbed Goat Cheese Spread, Low-Cal Fruity Cream Cheese Spread, Red Pepper & Pesto Spread, and Toasted Pecan Fruit Spread, are great for piping. Make filling as smooth as possible, pieces of fruit or vegetable may block the tip’s opening. Tips come in many shapes and sizes. Experiment with different tips to create a variety of effects. In a pinch, you can also use a small plastic bag to pipe by clipping a small hole in a corner.
