Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

I love a casual get together with friends- especially when there is food! Game time or game night with friends is the perfect excuse indulge in some delicious snack food. And with March Madness well under way, I wanted to share one of my favorite bite-sized snacks! Especially since it is the perfect way to close out our week of celebrating Cauliflower!
