Wow! This was a great snack for me while watching TV. I made ahead and then when the mood struck I was in the fridge in a flash pulling this out to munch out on. I didn't share it with anyone :) It was MINE allllll mine! I had atop bagel and pita chips and enjoyed each one like it was the first. I couldn't stop eating these. I did half the recipe, or I probably would have kept on eating until I got sick it was SO delicious! Thanks Rae!
