Generations of families have enjoyed benne wafers during Kwanzaa—and today @allthingsriche and @sugachef are showing us how to make them. In West Africa, the sesame seeds in this crisp cookie are believed to bring good luck. Shop the Better Homes and Gardens collection at @Walmart for the candles, table linens, and more.
