This recipe was so easy to make and so delish. Two were devoured before I remembered to take a pix but my my I will definetly make these over and over. I had multigrain crackers on hand so I used them. Gave recipe to all my girl friends. Common, on hand ingredients also. Thank you so much for an excellent recipe, a definite keeper.
