I have been obsessed with cheeze-its lately but there are like 10million calories in 27 flippin calories! I'm currently googling it (so no body tell me to google it please) but i was hoping one of my MFP buddies would have a recipe that would be a homemade, low cal alternative.

    Not quite the same texture-wise, but special k cracker chips in cheddar flavour are pretty yummy... 110 calories for 27 chips.

    I've had those and though tasty, isn't what i'm looking for. Maybe a low cal version of this recipe http://www.thethinchef.com/homemade-cheez-its/

    I'm really looking for something i can make at home.

    How could a low cal version of cheese-its possibly provide any satisfaction?

    It's the salty, cheesy, crispy crunchiness that is what makes them so good. And don't forget the smell too.
    Sunshine spend a lot of time and money to make them irresistible. Even Cheeze Nips don't come very close.

    They aren't even that high on calories--150 or less, make it work.

    150 calories for 27 small little crackers is just a tease!
