The mini-monsters make a tasty and healthy King's Day snack, all by themselves. This snack is really Dutch and orange, duh! They are tulips. Moreover, it is a good counterbalance to all the sweets that are everywhere today. And... these tulips are ready quickly!
We make them early and then we quickly go outside to join in the fun. When we get home we can choose, first sweet and then savoury? Or the other way around?
