Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Whip Cheddar cheese and softened butter together in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer until smooth. Beat 1/2 cup flour into the cheese mixture at a time, assuring each addition is incorporated fully before adding the next. Add cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and hot pepper sauce, beat to incorporate.

  3. Use a wooden spoon to fold the cereal into the cheese mixture, shape into 1-inch balls and arrange onto a baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to flatten the balls slightly.

  4. Bake in preheated oven until set but not yet browning, 15 to 17 minutes. Let crackers cool on pans for 1 minute before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
