Bleu Cheese and Walnut Crackers

Savory and rich,  perfect to serve with fruit and a glass of wine!

Crackers like these are the exact treat I like to add to a cheese platter
or charcuterie board. But they are  also delicious by themselves, with there
rich buttery, nutty and cheesy taste.

As Always,

ENJOY!
