My favorite snack, it can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. I sometime use the apple butter or peanut butter as a dip for the veggies and eat the rice cake on the side. Another choice dip the veggies in the butter, crumble the rice cake and roll butter covered veggies through the crumbled rice cake, sprinkle with pumpkin seeds. However you choose to have this snack, I promise you it will be a tasty and nutritious pick me up.
