These sound great. I have the original magazine with the colored pictures of them. I have not made these yet but plan on doing so soon.

Hit for the family. I used the olive oil, thyme, and parsely on mine and the combo was just right. It's a keeper...:)

Had so much fun making these and putting on different herb combinations. Such an evil recipe though since these are so addictive. I brushed olive oil on all the breadsticks and then made 1)thyme, parsley and salt, 2)garlic salt, 3) zatar and 4) rosemary and salt. I'm sure we will have this incredibly easy recipe again. Thanks.
