Description
Cheddar Rice Krispie Crackers are a delightful snack that combines the crunch of Rice Krispies with the rich flavor of sharp cheddar cheese, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: First things first, let’s get that oven preheated to 350°F (175°C). Don’t forget to line a baking sheet with some parchment paper to keep things nice and tidy!
- Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, toss in that softened butter and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix ‘em up real good until they’re well blended. Then, add in the all-purpose flour, paprika (if you’re feeling fancy), and salt. Stir it all together until a dough starts to form.
- Incorporate the Rice Krispies: Now, here comes the fun part! Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal. Make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout that cheesy dough.
- Shape the Crackers: Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place ‘em on your prepared baking sheet, giving them about 2 inches of space to breathe. Then, flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
- Bake the Crackers: Pop those beauties into the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are looking golden brown and delicious.
- Cool and Serve: Once they’re out of the oven, let the crackers cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Now, you’re ready to enjoy these crunchy, cheesy delights as a snack or appetizer!
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the amount of paprika based on your taste preference.
