Make dessert nachos. Add a layer of homemade cinnamon chips to a platter. Top with fruit and small scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream, dollops of Whipped Cream, and drizzle with Chocolate and Caramel Sauce.

Fruit salsa and cinnamon chips are one of my favorite combinations. I know it sounds a little different, but you’ll have to give it a try and tell me what you think!
STORING Tips
STORE. Keep cinnamon chips in an airtight container at room temperature. Make sure it’s airtight so they hold the crunch and don’t get stale.
If they are stored properly, they should last for a few days. If they soften, just stick them back in the oven to crisp them up again.
FREEZE. Allow the chips to cool, put leftovers in a freezer Ziploc, and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Crisp them back up by placing them in the oven for a few minutes.
