Cheese Bits with "snap, crackle & pop"

Homemade cheesy crackers get a “snap, crackle and pop” from the addition of rice crispy cereal. 

Cheese Bits    Makes 100+ (1 tablespoon portion size) crackers (I sometimes cut in half)

2 cups Cheddar cheese, grated

2 sticks butter 

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Dash Tabasco sauce

2 cups all purpose flour

2 cups rice crispy type cereal

Kosher salt for sprinkling

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Mix cheese, butter, Worcestershire  and Tabasco in mixer.   
3. Add flour and rice crispies; mix well. Lightly knead and shape by hand if dough does not come together. 
   
   
   

   
4. Roll into balls (I portioned with a 1 tablespoon dipper).
5. Roll on a parchment or silicon lined cookie sheet.  
6. Flatten with a fork using a criss-cross pattern. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. 
   
7. Bake crackers 15 to 17 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp
