    Sharp Cheddar Cheese And Date Pastry Cookies

    The perfect addition to EVERY SINGLE charcuterie board! The salty cheese and sweet dates are a match made in Heaven that pair VERY nicely with a dram of whiskey (straight…..no ice) or glass of DRY red wine…..NO sweet wine at my table! I received this recipe from our REALLY good friends that live in Conway as well. Actually, they are more like our third set of parents as well as grandparents for Kade and Indy.

Instead of the Chex cereal trinity….I replace corn Chex with bugles! Why?…..well…..it just tastes better…..who doesn’t love bugles? Ha! Also, I LOATHE regular bagel chips in my Chex mix…..we ALL know the rye bagel chips are the best…..Team Rye ALL THE WAY! I only make my Chex mix one time during the year (hence…..Christmas) which makes it a recipe I always look forward to during the Holidays. To begin, preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large stock pot, mix the…
