"Cheez-It" Stars

This is one of the first snacks I made for T when he started keto. Let me rephrase, this is one of the first snacks I made for T that he actually LIKED.

I make these at least once or twice a month, doubling the recipe. I store them in portioned out ziplock bags ready to go when we need/want them.

It is modified from The Keto Cookbook. This book is awesome, its a keto cookbook specific for kids on a medical keto diet, all the recipes are in grams and at 4:1 ratio. It was written by a keto mom and a nutritionist, and its full of other great information on how to navigate medical keto successfully. If you don't have it I strongly recommend it.
