Spiced Chickpea 'Nuts"

This recipe came via a new facebook friend of mine, Lisa Mittry. We have never met face to face, but have a mutual friend. Lisa is a Nutrition Consultant at La Costa Chiropractic and Wellness Center in California. She has daily nutritional posts that are great. This snack recipe looks really delicious and good for you. Alot of us are into chickpeas in stews, curries and hummus. Try this recipe next time you have some extra cans around and need a snack for yourself or a party.
