Cheez-Its are one of our son Georgie’s favorites, so I really wanted to perfect a homemade version! I love knowing exactly what I’m serving my family.
My copycat Cheez-It crackers are made with real sharp cheddar cheese, giving them more protein and an even cheesier taste than their store-bought counterparts.
