1/2 lb. sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 lb. butter (real), at room temperature
2 c. plain flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. Rice Krispies
Cayenne pepper to taste (depending on how hot desired)

Mix cheese and butter until well blended. Add flour, salt, Rice Krispies and pepper. Mix well. Roll into balls the size of large marbles and bake on ungreased cookie sheet about 15 minutes in preheated 375 degree oven until lightly browned. Remove to wire rack as soon as cool enough to handle. Can be made ahead and frozen; allow to thaw thoroughly before serving, do NOT reheat. Will keep well several days in airtight container not frozen.
