Chickpeas, garbanzo beans, Chi Chi Beans no matter what you call them, they are all the same bean! Chickpeas have superior nutritional value loaded with calcium and protein, so when it comes to something healthy to snack on I like to whip up a batch of these yummy beans that are baked in maple syrup with cinnamon to satisfy my sweat tooth. Even the kiddies will like them!
