Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 cups crisp rice cereal
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ cup chopped fresh chives
• 3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• ½ teaspoon pepper sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together the softened butter and cheese until well blended. Stir in flour, chives, salt, hot pepper sauce and garlic powder until thoroughly mixed. Stir in cereal. Divide the mixture into four parts, and roll into 6 inch long logs. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Unwrap the cheese logs, and slice into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Step 3

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges are crisp and slightly browned.
