I'm trying to navigate my way into the world of videos and cooking LIVE on my SCK facebook page. This was my first video on my new segment called "What's Cookin' Wednesday". Needless to say, I need to learn to take more still shots. It's a learning process.
Anyway, I thought these Cheese Crisps were going to get crunchy like an actual cracker. They're not. They're still somewhat soft and chewy but have a crunch because of the cereal. Overall, I liked them but the kiddos did not. They were expecting a crunchy treat. The boy even said they were too cheesy...wha?!?! He's a goob :P
Here's my interpretation of the recipe:
Cheese Crisps
Makes: 6 dozen*
From the Kitchen of Mrs. Carnes
1 c. softened margarine
2 c. shredded sharp cheese
2 c. flour
¼ tsp. hot sauce
¼ tsp salt
2 c. crisp rice cereal
Combine butter (margarine), cheese, flour, and hot sauce and salt. Mix until well blended. Gently stir in rice cereal. Shape in walnut sized balls; place on ungreased cookie sheet, flatten with fork.
Bake at 350ยบ for 10 minutes.
*I used margarine, but would use actual butter if made again
*I shredded my own cheese
*I ended up using my hands to better incorporate all the ingredients
*I only ended up making about 4½ dozen. Maybe if I had made them smaller to get the 6 dozen, they would have crisped up a little more? Hmmmm...
I hope you enjoy and give this recipe a second chance in your kitchen too.
