What a great snack! I added a 1/2 tsp of fenugreek and a 1/2 tsp of tarragon just for fun. These really turned out well. GREAT flavor.

This was an interesting snack. I wanted to like it but I didn't. I didn't actively dislike it either. My 7 year old daughter liked it well enough to eat 3 servings right away, which is the only reason I gave it 3 stars. Otherwise, it would have been 2. My son tried them but didn't like them at all. I thought the work to reward ratio was too much based on the results. I don't think that I will make this again unless my DD begs for it. However, I may try the method with other legumes.
