BETTER, than store bought!
No additives here,just a yummy buttery crunch. Great on creamy soups, or salads.
You can even snack on them, while watching T.V.It make a wonderful snack for game time!
Quick and sooo easy to make.
The foto shows one batch I made. Next time I will double the recipe. They just seem to go "poof"...LOL
My friends call them "Mouth Poppers!"...
Stored in an air tight container they stay good for 3-4 days.
Remember NO additives in this homemade recipe, and better for you.
