Mariel here. Sweet, salty and a snap to prepare, these delicious little devils hit the snacktastic trifecta. Plus you won’t even have to flip on the oven to make ’em, which is a blessing when it’s all of a sudden inching towards 90 during summer’s last gasp. These are based on a recipe I found in Women’s Health – and they ring in at about 140 calories for two – but there are an infinite number of ways to adapt them to satisfy your snack-tooth. Have a wonderful weekend!
