2 sticks of butter (unsalted Land of Lakes)
1/2 lb. New York State Extra Sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
2 c. plain flour (minus 1 tbsp.)
2 c. Rice Krispies
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. red pepper (cayenne)
1/2 c. finely chopped pecans (optional)

Cream butter, pepper and cheese. Add flour, salt, etc. Shape into small balls. Grease pan (I use Pam). Bake in 325 degree preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned edge.

Keep in tin - can freeze or reheat if stale.
