Description

A deliciously cheesy and crunchy snack made with Ritz Bits and seasoned butter.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boxes cheese Ritz Bits (8 oz each)
  • ¾ cup butter (melted)
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ⅔ cup grated Parmesan
  • finely chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line two 9×13 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper (or one extra-large sheet pan).
  2. If some Ritz Bits have separated, gently press them back into sandwiches so the cheese is tucked safely inside, so any exposed cheese doesn’t burn. Pour crackers into a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a medium spouted measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and seasonings. Pour over the crackers and toss to coat.
  4. Sprinkle the parmesan over the top and toss to coat again.
  5. Divide the buttered crackers evenly between the prepared baking sheets and spread in a single layer (it’s fine if some overlap).
  6. Bake 7-9 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Garnish with just a bit of fresh chopped parsley.
  8. Allow to cool completely before eating. They will crisp up and get crunchy as they cool.

Notes

  • This snack is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
  • Feel free to adjust seasonings to your taste!
