Cracker Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure an even and consistent baking process for the crackers.
- Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the Rice Krispies, shredded cheddar cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Spread mixture: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Evenly spread the mixture onto the baking sheet, pressing down gently with a spatula to form a thin, uniform layer of about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Cool and cut: Remove the baked sheet from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, break or cut the mixture into cracker-sized pieces.
- Serve and store: Enjoy your Rice Krispie Cheddar Crackers immediately, or store them in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain crispness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little extra cheddar on top before baking.
- Ensure the crackers are completely cooled before storing to avoid sogginess.
- These crackers can be customized with other seasonings like onion powder, cayenne pepper, or herbs based on your preference.
