My mother-in-law made these for years and I have taken over since her death. Our family loves these so much. One difference in our recipe is that we use about 1/2 of the cheese that this recipe calls for....I don't know but this might cut down on the "greasiness" that some reviewers wrote about. And they really are "addictive". Read More

I just wanted to add my vote for these crispies. I took it to a luncheon today and everyone raved about it and wanted a copy of the recipe. One lady is already going to make this appetizer for a party tomorrow night! YUM! Read More

I first ate this at my wedding shower in 1966. My mother-in-law used it all of the time. As an appetizer she left them in balls. To serve with salads she pressed them with a fork like peanut butter cookies. This is the exact recipe I have and it is wonderful! Read More

This recipe is absolutely wonderful! Being a cheese-aholic I knew that it would be. It is so easy and quick. While preparing a birthday dinner for friends I quickly threw it together to serve as a pre-dinner nibble and they loved it. Careful though: It these crispies are so addictive they could have an effect on your weight! Read More

I would say cook them a little bit longer and make sure that they are extra thin. I originally made them too thick and they ended up greasy and floury too. But when I made them thinner and cooked them for longer it worked really well. Read More
