For a really spicy crispie, use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar cheese.

You can freeze the crispie dough logs in order to have quick hors d oeuvres.  Wrap each log in plastic wrap and freeze for up to two months.  When you are ready to use them, thaw slightly, slice and bake.

MONEY SAVING TIPS

If crispy rice cereal is not something you normally keep on hand, use the individuals serving size packs and use the rice cereal for these appetizers and save the rest of the different cereals for breakfast
