How to measure honey
One of my favorite kitchen tips!
When measuring honey, lightly spray the cup with non-stick spray, then pour the honey in the cup. This will help the honey slide right out, leaving you with less mess and a better measurement.

Not only does this look like such a tasty way to use garbanzos, but you have also completely blown my mind with that tip for measuring honey! I usually just make a sticky mess and I feel like such a dummy now haha!

Can you store this outside and if yes for how long? or does it have to be refrigerated? Thanks
Debi
Every time I’ve made it I’ve eaten it within a day, so I’ve left it at room temperature with no problems. I think it would do fine for a day or two at room temp in a tightly covered container, though you’ll probably lose some of the crunchiness. Longer than that, I’d recommend the fridge.

I’ve never made chickpeas at home before, partially because I was never really sure how to cook them. I don’t have any excuse now! Thanks for sharing!!
