Abstract: The proximate and sensory properties of African yam beans (Stephenostylis stenocarpa) and African rice (Oryza glaberrima) snacks (queen cakes and chin-chin) were determined. African yam beans seeds and African rice grains flour were processed into flour and used as composite flour for snacks' production. The composite flour was mixed in the ratios of 100:0, 80:20, 50:50, 60:40, and 70:30, coded as samples: QCA,QC B, QC C, QC D and QCE (queen cakes) and CHA, CHB, CHC, CHD, and CHE (chin-chin). The proximate analysis indicated significant (p
