Five ingredients transform into long, crisp cracker sticks. The hand-held snacks make for easy mingling at parties.—Elizabeth Robinson, Conroe, Texas

An advertisement block for pickles covers the ingredients with no way to get it out of the way or close it.....even after you click to view them all. Consider removing this advertiser as it makes the article useless.

Mine were not as pretty as these, but the taste was spot on!!! My husband liked them so much, I will have time to learn to make them prettier next time!

I doubled the recipe but still baked in two separate batches. So EASY and so DELICIOUS! I did cook each batch (gas oven) for 27 minutes at 350, turning the pan around at 15 minutes. At 20 min, they were still quite soft. Other than a difference in timing, the recipe was spot on and I have a new favorite to make as snacks and to take to parties!

I have loved these since I was a Child. Takes me back to a Happier time. I have also tried them with roasted pecans chopped up in it.
