Nowadays, it’s not uncommon for people to make snack foods that they might have previously purchased at the grocery store: granola bars, caramel corn, protein balls and doughnuts are now all in the realm of the home cook.

What about crackers? Following are two of our favourite recipes for those who are ready to take on this next challenge:

Our golden cheese twists use real cheddar cheese, not the powdered stuff. Dotted with sesame seeds and spiced with a mixture of smoked paprika, mustard, cumin, garlic, onion and cayenne, these buttery twists are sure to be crowdpleas­ers.

Packed with three different types of seeds, our light and crispy seed crisps definitely live up to their name.

These versatile crackers work well on a charcuteri­e or cheese board, as a base for your favourite hors d’oeuvre, or on their own as a delicious and convenient snack.

 ?? ATCO BLUE FLAME KITCHEN ?? Forget store-bought crackers! You can easily make twists and crisps at home, and spice them with your favourite blends.
