These are addictive! My husband asked me to hide them, because he could not stop eating the. These are very, very tasty, and I love that they are made with 100% whole wheat.

Yummy! Quick and easy. My 3-yr-old even helped. I think it would still be good with less sugar too.

Followed this recie and they turned out great! Couldn't ask for a better wheat thin. Just make sure you roll them out very thin!

Sorry, my crackers were a huge disappointment. I used salted or regular butter and one TBL SP of brown sugar. My crackers tasted like hot salty butter with some whole wheat in it. I had a similar recipe from Rodale Press that was excellent ... but then my house burned and I never got that book back. As I recall, the Rodale recipe called for oil and I forget which one I used. This was years ago.

My mom told me about them. They were great. I passed it on to my friend and she loved them. I will make these for get togethers instead of buying them. I think you could even make a cinnamon and sugar cereal out of them. Thank you so much.
