It was really good. I wanted peanut butter and it certainly hit the spot! It had a really unexpected layer of (what I'm designating) white chocolate and it was all delicious! I was done when I finished it, didn't leave me wanting any more.

Chickpeas look lush, how did you make them?

Chickpeas look lush, how did you make them?

Tinned chickpeas rinsed and dried.
Oven at 200 fan (may want to lower it because mine went a bit dark)
Put them in a pan for 15 mins on their own
Make up a seasoning mix - Onion powder, cayenne, garlic powder, mustard powder, turmeric. Etc. Whatever you want really plus salt and pepper. If you want an alternative to crisps etc. you'll need to add a bit more salt.
Spray chickpeas with frylight after the initial 15 mins and coat with seasoning
10 more mins in oven and then turn it off and leave the door open (if you keep the temp up, maybe watch these timings, I left hubby in charge.)

They probably take about 40 mins all in to make, just so you leave enough time! They have stored well throughout the day today in an airtight box too Have a great night tomorrow

I might invest in a pkt.

I'm hungry tonight but it's different. I'm "exercise" hungry not "grabby" hungry. Much easier to control!

They were only £1 for 4.Worth a try in my opinion. Let me know what you think if you get them. X

I lost 4/5 stone calorie counting before my first child was born. The thing I did wrong, was eating 1200 calories of chips and snickers so that once I stopped, I hadn't learned anything. Well, I knew how to tolerate hunger!
I'm changing my focus this time. It's really all in the planning, regardless of what plan you follow. "If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail" as they say! So I'm just trying to learn how to plan consistently really.

I know my family are ordering pizza later so I am ready!!!
