Growing up as a kid in West Africa, l saw chin chin on birthday parties and on Christmas celebrations. In West Africa, it is a crunchy crispy snack. Very delicious. When you make it crispy and dry , it can last for over 3 weeks or more.

- Divide dough into little pieces and roll with a rolling pin. After stretching with a rolling pin , you will have a flat dough. Cut dough into the shape of your choice and size. I prefer little square cut . I also prefeŕ the machine thin smooth cuts.
