Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Cheese & Butter

  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

Additional

  • 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, paprika, and optional cayenne pepper until evenly combined, creating a well-seasoned base for your dough.
  3. Add Cheese and Butter: Incorporate the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and softened unsalted butter into the dry ingredient mixture. Mix thoroughly until a soft dough forms, combining the ingredients uniformly.
  4. Fold in Rice Krispies: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, taking care not to crush them too much in the process to maintain their crispy texture within the crackers.
  5. Shape Crackers: Roll the dough into small 1-inch balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet with about 2 inches of space between each to allow for spreading during baking. Flatten each ball slightly using your fingers or the bottom of a glass to form crackers.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the edges of the crackers are golden and the crackers are crisp to the touch.
  7. Cool and Store: Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy for several days.

Notes

  • Use extra-sharp cheddar cheese to enhance the boldness of the flavor.
  • Storing the crackers in an airtight container helps maintain their crispness for multiple days.
