like Rachel I used pesto I had already made and had in the refrigerator. I only added 1/2 tsp. salt. They made a great savory snack and I think they would also be AWESOME chopped and sprinkled on salad. My daughter is making them for my sister for an extra birthday gift. Read More

Next time I will cut back on the Parmesan cheese and add more basil. Good flavor the cheese just took over. Read More
