I make these cheese bits for our Friday wine tastings at the store - they are quick and easy to make and everybody LOVES them! Here is the recipe for a party plate full of them (approx 45):1 pound mixed grated cheese (take on of the 3 cheese mixes in a bag)1/2 pound unsalted butter1/2 pound white flourTabasco sauce1/2 tsp Chili powder1 cup Rice Crispies (the neutral tasting ones)Mix the cheese with the butter (warm butter a little to make it soft), then add the spices (Tabasco to taste), flour and crispies. Use your hands to mix it all very well together, then form little balls, put on a non-sticking backing sheet and flatten a little on top.Conventional oven 375F for about 15 min - keep checking as time might vary (I am on high altitude - everything is different here!). they should be golden brown and crisp.Try this with Pinot Gris, Viognier, Albarino or if you like Red - Zinfandel, Shiraz or a Red Blend.
