These are so good! And the colour is all natural and looks just as amazing in person.
These look great! Can’t wait to try. What size baking tray for the crackers?
Sorry for not stating this! Any large cookie sheet will do, or a couple of smaller ones. As long as the cracker mixture is spread out as thinly as possible, you should be good to go. Let me know how it goes
Cara!
