Cheese Krispies: Snap Crackle Party
Buttery party wafers with a hint o' heat from cayenne pepper. Cheese Krispies are quick and easy to make and super adaptable to whatever cheeses you have in the fridge. Serve with Drinks at 5 or as part of a giant party spread.
Equipment
- Electric mixer
- Baking pan
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 4 ounces shredded cheese
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened 4 ounces, ½ cup
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 cup puffed rice cereal Rice Krispies or generic brand
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper. (If you’re not using parchment, leave the pan ungreased.)
- Cream shredded cheese and softened butter in the mixer for 5 minutes, scraping the sides as necessary.
- Add flour, salt and cayenne, and mix for a minute or so til well combined. Scrape down sides.
- Add puffed rice cereal, and mix for only about 30 seconds on low (you don't want to smash the cereal too much!)
- Divide dough into 24 walnut size pieces. Roll each in a ball, and place on a parchment lined baking pan. Using a fork, press down on each ball to flatten and make cute little stripes on the wafers.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the bottoms are lightly browned. Let cool on the pan or on a wire cooling rack.
- Serve straight away or store in a tin to keep them crispy (or KRISPIE, if you'd rather : )
