• Footnotes
• I don't always sprinkle the top of the crackers with coarse salt. It depends on how salty the nuts are.
• I use roasted and salted nuts with these. It makes a salty sweet cracker.
• I have used slmonds, pecans. macadamian nuts and peanuts with equally good results.
• I have often wondered as I make them what would happen if I added garlic and onion salt then the nuts.
• You could make a sweet cracker or a savory cracker with these.
• You could also sprinkle the crackers with a pepper seasoning and add some heat to the flavor.
• I have sprinkled the crackers with crushed cajun trail mix crackers and use that as a topping and that was awesome.
• I think you are limited only by you own imagination.
