Featured recipe from Marilu’s table * Crunchy crisps
Make this dessert when you need something simple and sweet – and automatically portion-controlled. Put them in school lunches (or your own brown bag lunch), or toss a few in a small container when you’ll be out running errands all day. You’ll be able to skip the junk food at the checkout counter or food court if you have something healthy to snack on.

Thanks for posting this! I have wanted to make these with Almond Butter and I couldn’t remember the exact proportions. I can’t find my Blue Book. I think I have lent it out and can’t recall who to! Thanks, Mwah!
