With Christmas fast approaching, I’m expecting a house full of family and friends. Having lots of good wholesome snacks to munch on is always a good idea to keep everyone satisfied while the dinner simmers away.. These crackers are very flavorful, festive, savory and go really well will red wine, cocktails and even festive drinks like mulled wine, glogg and eggnog.
Try these Italian style crackers with any dip or simply by itself with a thin drizzle of really good quality olive oil. You can also use it as a base for bruschetta with chopped tomatoes, garlic or sautéed mushrooms and a little cheese. Pack them in pretty wrapping paper for a thoughtful gift with a bottle of good olive oil and red wine to share with friends or family as a christmas gift. I know I would love to receive one
