Crowd-pleasing – Perfect for parties or family snacking

No-fuss prep – One bowl, one pan, and minimal cleanup

Customizable – Change up the cheese or spice it up

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Ritz Bits crackers – Buttery, bite-sized, and ideal for snacking

Unsalted butter – Helps all the spices stick and adds richness

Garlic and onion powder – Brings deep, savory flavor

Dried parsley & paprika – Adds color and a hint of herbaceous spice

Parmesan cheese – Salty, nutty, and melts into the crackers

Shredded cheddar cheese – For gooey, cheesy goodness

Salt – Just a pinch, to taste

Pro Tips Before You Start

Use parchment paper – Makes cleanup easy and prevents sticking

Don’t overbake – Keep an eye on them after 8 minutes

Cool slightly before serving – The cheese firms up as it cools

Store airtight – To keep the crackers crisp

Spice it up – Add chili flakes or cayenne for heat

How to Make Cheesy Garlic Ritz Bits Snacks

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Butter Mixture

In a bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, paprika, and Parmesan

Step 3: Coat the Crackers
Add 1 box (8 oz) Ritz Bits crackers to the bowl.

Gently toss to coat evenly with the butter mixture.

Step 4: Spread on Baking Sheet
Arrange the coated crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5: Add Cheddar
Sprinkle ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the crackers.

Step 6: Bake
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crackers are golden.

Step 7: Cool and Serve
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

What to Serve With Cheesy Garlic Ritz Bits Snacks

Creamy ranch or garlic dip – Perfect pairing

Hot tomato soup – Dip and devour

Charcuterie board – Adds a cheesy, crunchy bite

Cold drinks – Lemonade, soda, or beer for contrast

Movie night snacks – Mix into a savory snack bowl

Variations / Substitutions

Use Goldfish crackers – For a fun twist

Swap cheeses – Try mozzarella, pepper jack, or Colby

Add spice – Mix chili flakes or cayenne into the butter

Try garlic herb butter – For extra flavor depth

Make it gluten-free – Use gluten-free mini crackers

Storage & Reheating Tips

Room temp – Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days

Avoid the fridge – Moisture will make crackers soggy

Reheat – Toast in a 300°F oven for 3–5 minutes to re-crisp

Best fresh – For maximum crunch and cheese melt

FAQs

Can I use regular Ritz crackers?
Yes, but they may break more easily. Ritz Bits hold up better.

What kind of cheese works best?
Cheddar and Parmesan are perfect, but you can mix in mozzarella or pepper jack.

Can I make these ahead?
Yes! Store in an airtight container and reheat briefly to refresh.

Are these spicy?
Not as written, but you can easily add heat with cayenne or chili flakes.

Can I skip the cheddar cheese?
Sure! Just use Parmesan for a crispier finish without the melty topping.

Final Thoughts

These Cheesy Garlic Ritz Bits Snacks are bite-sized flavor bombs—buttery, garlicky, and perfectly cheesy.

They’re fast to make, fun to eat, and sure to become a snack-time staple in your kitchen.

Whether you serve them at a party or hoard them all for yourself, one handful is never enough.
