The other day I had a craving. I didn’t crave any chocolate, caramel, marshmallows and not even fruit (it happens, yes). I wanted crackers. I wanted to make lighter, healthier crackers and eat a bunch of them. So I did.
These are so much better than the store bought ones, that’s obvious. And they are made in no time. They make the perfect snack, party food, and you can accompany them with some dip/sauce. The variations are numerous.
