Cheese Crunches baked snacks

Snacks are so expensive, and who knows what's in them? Here's a recipe for Cheese Crunches that have real cheese and cereal in them, so they actually contain vitamins!

1/2 lb sharp cheese, grated
1/2 lb margarine
2 cups flour
2 cups Rice Krispies
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp salt

Mix cheese and margarine (room temperature). Add remaining ingredients. Form into balls; flatten with fork on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Note: It's important to make sure they are small - about an inch across. If they are larger, they won't be so crunchy.
Makes about 8 dozen.

Peanut Clusters

These are easy to make, and as a sweet snack, they are actually pretty healthy overall, since they have peanuts, almonds, and cereals in them! These freeze well and they are quite tasty!
I got this recipe from Mr. Denney of Carrollton GA.

1 lb almond bark
8 oz spanish peanuts
2-1/2 oz slivered almonds
1-1/2 cup Cheerios
1-1/2 cup Rice Crispies

Melt almond bark in oven at 200 degrees.
Mix all together then drop by teaspoonfuls or tablespoons on wax paper and allow to cool.
