Cheese Wafers
Cheese Wafers are buttery, slice-and-bake bites packed with sharp Cheddar, a gentle kick from red pepper flakes and hot sauce, and a toasty crunch of pecans. They bake up crisp and rich, making them ideal for cocktail hours, holiday platters, or snacking with drinks. Expect a savory, nutty finish and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
