Ingredients
  

For the Crackers
  • 2 cups Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese Adds a robust flavor; feel free to swap for regular sharp cheddar for a milder taste.
  • 2 cups Puffed Rice Cereal (Rice Krispies) Provides that signature crunchy texture; this ingredient is essential for achieving the right crunch.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Gives structure to your crackers; substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances the overall flavor; adjust the amount according to your taste preference.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper Adds a hint of mild heat; feel free to leave it out if you're keeping it less spicy.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Gives these crackers their spicy kick; adjust to fit your heat tolerance or omit for a milder snack.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Contributes a savory depth; can be replaced with onion powder if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Binds all ingredients together and adds richness; ensure it's at room temperature for easier mixing.

How to Make Rice Krispie Cheese Crackers
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Combine grated extra sharp cheddar, Rice Krispies, flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add softened unsalted butter to the mixture and combine everything gently until the dough holds together.
  4. Form tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, pressing down gently with a fork.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until the edges become lightly golden brown.
  6. Cool the crackers on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
