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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the crackers.
- 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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
