What Do Homemade Cheddar Crackers Taste Like?

They have the perfect amount of heat and cheddar flavor.

If you’re expecting the texture of a boxed cheese cracker, these aren’t it.

Rather than being thin and crunchy, we compared the finished texture to a buttery pie crust orshortbread cookie.

I really love the cheddar flavor and how the heat builds as you eat them.

They would be great smeared with a bit of jam or hot honey.

While it is hard to stop eating the delicious crackers, they are very rich.

Most of us found that a few crackers was the ideal amount.
