GIADA'S CECI, PISTACHIO AND ALMOND MIX

Giada's Ceci, Pistachio and Almond Mix image

Sweet and spicy and crunchy and delicious. Great to have in your desk drawer for snacking when you "forget" to eat lunch. With vegan, vegetarian and omniverous friends, it served as a perfect hoiday gift. I must have made 3 quarts of it to give away...and that doesn't count the considerable amount I have consumed myself. May use one pre-made recipe #205255 in place of the preparing the garbanzo beans as indicated below.
