The Chew: How’d They Make That? Cheez-Its

The Chew Homemade Cheez-It Recipe: Michael Symon's Cheese Snaps

The Chew’s Michael Symon went back to the lab, revealing a Homemade Cheez-It Recipe in another installment of his How’d They Make That? snack series.

Symon said his son Kyle has always been addicted to Cheez-It crackers. That’s how Michael got inspired to figure out the recipe. You can use any semi-firm cheese to make these in your preferred flavor.

The recipe itself is simple. As for future How’d They Make That ideas, it sounds like The Chew crew is brimming with ideas for future segments. I sense that an entire cookbook could be in the offing! What would you like to find out how to make at home?
