Crispy and cheesy Rice Krispie Cheddar Crackers that combine sharp cheddar, crunchy Rice Krispies, and a hint of cayenne pepper for a flavorful, savory snack perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese and Butter

  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup butter

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 cups Rice Krispie cereal
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper, plus more to sprinkle
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Other Flavorings

  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and shredded sharp cheddar cheese together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, combining the fatiness of butter with sharp cheesy flavor.
  3. Add Seasonings and Flour: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and garlic powder for depth and spice, then gradually add flour to the mixture, blending to form a cohesive dough.
  4. Fold in Rice Krispies: Gently fold in the Rice Krispie cereal, taking care not to crush them to maintain the crackers’ crispy texture.
  5. Shape Dough Balls: Pinch off teaspoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into smooth balls, preparing them for shaping on the baking sheet.
  6. Flatten and Season: Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and flatten each with a fork to form cracker shapes; sprinkle with additional cayenne pepper if you desire extra heat.
  7. Bake: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes or until they turn a nice golden color, indicating they are crisp and cooked through.
  8. Cool: Let the crackers cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Store: Once cooled, store the crackers in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispness.

Notes

  • For more heat, sprinkle additional cayenne pepper before baking.
  • Ensure Rice Krispies are gently folded in to keep their texture intact.
  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor.
  • Store crackers in an airtight container to stay crispy for up to a week.
  • You can substitute butter with margarine for a dairy-free option, but flavor may vary.
