Emily Kummer shows you how to skip the overpriced boxed cheese crackers and learn how to make these delicious snacks in your own home:

There are only two things separating these beauties from the original fluorescent orange crackers. The first, of course, is that they are homemade, and because these are homemade, they are made fresh and baked free of any preservatives or odd ingredients like “soy lecithin” or “paprika oleoresin.” (Please excuse me while I fact-check real quick…okay, yep…only 5 ingredients down there. Way cool.)

The second difference is that they lack the notches that appear on all four sides of the store-bought cracker. CHEEZ-ITS pride themselves on their allegedly amazing grip, so shouldn’t these imitators, too? Well, no, because these easy-to-hold crackers won’t be dropped unless it is into a bowl of steaming tomato soup. They’re large and in charge–and I could probably dub them the pantry bully if they weren’t so easy to love.
