When I told Matthew Rice, the former pastry chef at Girl & the Goat, how much I like Cheez-Its, he said we should try coating them with chocolate and peanut butter. Lo and behold, they taste just like little Butterfingers. (He actually made a Cheez-It wedding cake for Gary and me that had them on the inside.) So when I was thinking about things to do on the grill for Fourth of July, I immediately though of s’mores-and then chocolate and peanut butter-coated Cheez-Its. Let guests toast their marshmallows over the fire-I’ve always been into low and slow instead of blackened, but it’s a personal decision-then slide them on a Cheez-It sandwich. It’s like a homemade candy bar.
