weekend brunch nibble. Tested with Fleischmanns; with Cant Believe

(lite).

Lundberg Family Farm produces a nutty (high fiber, organic) brown rice blend.

This dessert/brunch recipe has a lot going for it. I mean, i like the taste and the crunchiness: I want to eat more of it! But its a bit on the high calorie side. Im just not wild about using the reduced-fat margarines (kinda watery).
