These Crispy Savory Rice Krispie Cheddar Crackers are shockingly simple, incredibly satisfying, and endlessly customizable. Made with just five main ingredients, they deliver a light, airy, and shatteringly crisp texture that store-bought crackers can’t touch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Krispies, flour, salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the cereal is evenly coated.
  3. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and toss to combine.
  4. Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture and fold until the cereal is coated and the cheese starts to clump.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even, rectangular layer.
  6. Place a second piece of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin or flat-bottomed glass to press the mixture flat to about 1/4-inch thickness. Remove the top parchment.
  7. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, score the pressed mixture into 1-inch squares without separating them.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are deep golden brown and the crackers are firm to the touch.
  9. Cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes. The crackers will continue to crisp as they cool. Break apart along the scored lines once cool.

Notes

Do not skip the parchment paper to prevent sticking. Press the mixture firmly to ensure crackers hold together. Watch the oven closely after 12 minutes to prevent burning. Let crackers cool completely before moving them. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and ensure Rice Krispies are labeled gluten-free.
