Description

Garlic Bread Ritz Bits are a deliciously savory snack combining the classic cheesy flavor of Ritz Bits with a buttery garlic parmesan coating. Perfectly baked to achieve a crispy golden texture, these bite-sized crackers make an ideal party appetizer or movie night treat.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 (8.8 oz) box Ritz Bits cheese sandwiches
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the crackers.
  2. Mix Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried parsley, and salt, mixing thoroughly to create a flavorful garlic butter sauce.
  3. Coat Ritz Bits: Place the Ritz Bits cheese sandwiches in a large mixing bowl, then drizzle the garlic butter mixture over them. Toss gently but evenly, ensuring each cracker is well coated with the garlic butter mixture for maximum flavor.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated Ritz Bits in a single layer on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet to allow even baking and crisping.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time to promote even crispness and a beautiful golden color.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.

Notes

  • These garlic bread flavored Ritz Bits are excellent party snacks or the perfect companion for movie nights.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days to keep them fresh and crunchy.
  • Optional: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture for a subtle spicy kick.
