In the end, we decided this recipe wasn’t a winner. You can read this post and get this recipe below, or you can go to the newer, better recipe I created to fix the issues with this recipe.
Today, I’m sharing another of the recipes I found in my Grandma’s recipe box. This is a Rice Krispie recipe. I love cheese and bread, so anything that remotely combines the two is a winner in my book. That is why I was intrigued by this recipe.
I had seen it multiple times while making other recipes first. I knew I would eventually have to try this one. Yippee…today was the day!
The ingredients needed are pretty simple and things I had on hand. I have a printable version of this recipe for you at the bottom of this post.
Just mix up the recipe following the directions. Then form balls with the dough. I used a small scoop(affiliate link) to make it fast and easy.
Bake them up and enjoy!
This recipe will make about 3 dozen Cheese Rice Krispie Balls.
I use white whole wheat flour. It tends to act like whole wheat flour in cooking, which means that I usually need to add a little extra liquid for the texture/consistency to be correct in recipes. I didn’t do that in this recipe. Therefore, my Cheese Rice Krispie Balls are dry and flaky. I think if I had added a little extra butter and cheese, they might be less crumbly.
Regardless of them being a crumbly mess, they are yummy. I love the extra crunch of texture the Rice Krispies adds to them.
I’ll be back next month with a slightly different variation of these. Another card in the recipe box that was very similar to this….I have to try it, too!

My little girls can’t get enough when we make rice krispie treats and also love cheese so this will be well liked in our house! I can even pack it in their lunches. 🙂 Going to pin it so I can make it soon!
I hope you really enjoy them…just try to make them more moist somehow. These were pretty dry.

Thanks, Celia! Thanks for stopping by and alerting me to your post today. I hadn’t made it through my feedly feed yet today. You gave me some incentive to get through it. How fun that I won! Can’t wait to get the tea buddy…it will get used daily, probably more than one time a day!
Take care,
KC
How interesting! I’m definitely going to have to try these out!
Enjoy!

Okay these look seriously dangerous for me. Cheesecake, I will turn up my nose… but savory cheese snacks. Oh-oh. Thanks for sharing (I think:)

I’m with you on the love of savory cheese snacks. I could get in trouble with them. These were really dry…so make sure to modify them a little bit.
Enjoy!

I’ve never heard of mixing Rice Krispies and Cheese, I can just imagine the flavor combination and the crunch. Sounds very good and will have to try it. Visiting you from Met Monday~Have a beautiful day!
I hope you enjoy it if you give it a try. The crisp crunch the Rice Krispies gave them was a fun addition.
KC
How fun that your grandma used to make these! I’ve never seen these before – my girls would love them!
Kelly
It is fun going through her recipe box and seeing what is in there. It is a bit like a history of food lesson. I hope you and your girls enjoy them.

I always think of Rice Krispies in a sweet treat. I am printing the recipe!
Me, too! That is part of why I was intrigued to try this recipe.
Take care,

Wow, I think my kids would sure love these! And to help me make them. Thanks for sharing!
I love it when I can find recipes that my kids will like and be able to help make…winning combo. Hope it works out well for you if you try it.

I, too, love anything with cheese and carbs. I also have an unopened box of rice krispies left over from the rice krispies treats addiction during my last pregnancy. This is just the way to use them up. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, who wouldn’t love cheese and carbs…winning combo! Hope you enjoy them if you give them a try…just adjust them a little since mine came out pretty dry.
KC
Yummy!! 🙂
Yes! Just a bit too dry…working to fix that because I need cheese and bread together! 😉
These are intriguing. I am going to have to give these a try soon, too!
I hope you enjoy them if you try them. Just remember you may need to adjust them a bit so they aren’t too dry.
KC
