{This post is an oldie from my first blog, Life Food, and Beer. I'm not cooking with beer like I once was, but I still love this recipe. To read more about my food philosophy now, click on the About Me page.}

I love Cheez-Its! I try to avoid buying a box because I can't stop eating them. In my quest to make more things from scratch, I've started experimenting with different snacks. Next on my list is fruit leather. I'll let you know how it turns out.

This recipe was so easy. With only 5 ingredients, I feel a lot better about the quality of this verse the processed store-bought option.

Back to the Cheez-It. Cabot was nice enough to send me some samples of their cheeses to try out. One of the samples was a Horseradish Cheddar. I originally planned to use it to make hamburgers but thought Cheez-it would be way better.

Beer for the Homemade Horseradish Cheez-It

For the beer, I used TBC's Gnarly Barley, but any American Pale Ale or IPA would work in this recipe.
