Ingredients
• 2 (8.8 oz) boxes cheese Ritz Bits
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional but delicious)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
• In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter
• Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, and Parmesan cheese (if using) into the melted butter
• Place the cheese Ritz Bits in a large mixing bowl
• Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the Ritz Bits and toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated
• Spread the coated crackers out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet
• Bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even crisping
• Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before serving or storing
Notes
Serve the garlic Ritz Bits warm for a buttery, bold flavor that’s perfect right out of the oven
• Cool completely before transferring to a serving bowl for parties, picnics, or casual snacking
• Pair with dips like ranch, marinara, or cheese sauce for extra indulgence
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness
• Keep in a cool, dry place—avoid humidity to prevent them from going soggy
• Best enjoyed within 3–5 days for peak flavor and crunch
• For on-the-go snacking, portion into resealable snack bags
• Do not refrigerate, as cold air can make the crackers soft
• To refresh their crispness, reheat in the oven at 250°F for 5 minutes
• Avoid stacking warm crackers—let them cool in a single layer to stay crispy
