Ritz Cracker Appetizers

As a kid these crackers were always on my mom's grocery list along with pepperoni and cheese, it was one of their go-to appetizers, a non-recipe sort of. As soon as the cracker company started marketing themselves as a holiday food item, Ritz crackers recipes for appetizers started popping up all over. Appetizers like mozzarella with tomato and pesto, cucumber with dill dip and Ritz crackers topped with peanut butter & jelly are top recipes that come to mind.
