Really, really enjoyed putting these tasty twists together! Was going to serve them with a dip, but THEY WERE SO TASTY without that it let go of that idea, at least for this time! Did half of them with just the salt & the rest with cinnamon & nuts, & loved them both ~ ABSOLUTELY GREAT, & a definite keeper! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
