Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Mixture

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Main Ingredient

  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
  2. Melt Butter and Add Spices: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper for a flavorful base.
  3. Add Cheeses: Add shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the butter and spices, stirring continuously until the cheeses have completely melted and combined into a smooth mixture.
  4. Combine with Rice Krispies: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring every piece is well coated with the cheesy mixture for maximum flavor and crispiness.
  5. Form the Crackers: Transfer the coated Rice Krispies mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to press it down evenly, forming a flat layer with gentle, firm pressure so the crackers will hold together after baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn a beautiful golden brown, indicating the crackers are crisp and ready.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked mixture to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking it into cracker-sized pieces to avoid crumbling.
  8. Storage: Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature, where they will stay fresh for up to one week.

Notes

  • Make sure to press the mixture firmly before baking to help the crackers hold together better.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the cheese mixture.
  • These crackers are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to a week in an airtight container.
  • If you prefer a stronger cheese flavor, increase the cheddar cheese quantity by 1/4 cup.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and aid easy removal from the pan.
