Ellen Scott says
Haven’t known about this snack. Rather appealing to kids. I’d rather change the taste with other canned beans, is it possible?
My kids do not like garlic then I will cross it out for my recipe, hopefully it will not affect the final taste. Many thanks for a simple but can-not-think-of snack recipe.
