Sesame Poppy Seed Crackers

Crackers are flat, crisp and known to be a nutritious snack which is baked. They are always salted and can be made in different flavours. They are made in different shapes, commonly in round or square. Crackers can be enjoyed on its own or can be topped with Cheese, Dips, Soft Spreads, Jam, Butter or Peanut Butter or any thing you like :)

Give it a try and you will love them for sure.
