Whether you call them roll-ups, spirals, or pinwheels, they are fun and delicious. These are the best pinwheel recipes.
They are perfect for having at holiday gatherings, game day, parties, or just as an afternoon snack.
My love affair with all things stuffed and rolled came about due to my sister-in-law’s Santa Fe Spirals recipe. She got the recipe from her mom. I always looked forward to her bringing it to parties, so I got the recipe from her.
Once I had the recipe, I brought it to parties I was invited to or parties I hosted. I even sometimes made it for our family as a movie snack!
Since that appetizer was such a hit with my kids and everyone who tried it at parties, I decided to try other pinwheel recipes too. I began to invent some of my own using flavors I knew worked well together.
This is the best pinwheel recipe that you will ever find. It is so easy to make and only requires a few ingredients. You will love the way the pinwheels taste. They are perfect for any occasion.
I discovered that people find it more fun to eat something if it’s rolled up!
