Tailgate time! These bite-sized beauties are a Grandma’s classic!  The crispy cereal pairs beautifully with the sharpness of your sharp cheese of choice.  Add an extra ½ a teaspoon of cayenne for a big punch.  I guarantee there won’t be any left!

¼ pound sharp cheddar, grated (I use Cracker Barrel extra sharp)

2 sticks salted butter

1 teaspoon cayenne

2 cups self-rising flour

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Mix first 3 ingredients.  

Add flour and Rice Krispies.

Spoon small ball of cheese mixture on a baking sheet; press down with a fork to make criss-cross indentions.

Bake 10-12 minutes until lightly golden and crisp (can keep in 1-2 minutes for extra crispy).
