“And I knew that if I had the chance that I could make those people dance. And, maybe they’d be happy for a while”…. lyrics to a song by Don McLean… I think this crisp will make your day happy – it is great for breakfast with greek yogurt (try coconut) or as a dessert with vanilla ice cream! Either way, you can’t get wrong – so, “kick off your shoes and dig those rhythms and blues”.

For breakfast, we like to pour a little cream and syrup on the crisp or you could put a big dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt.

For dessert, we love this with ice cream or whipped cream and maybe a splash of grand marnier! Also great as an afternoon snack with tea or coffee…
