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.

There is just something about the buttery, perfectly salted ritz cracker that makes them great in all kinds of recipes. The versatility of RITZ Crackers allows you to be creative and think outside the box. That is what I did for these caramel chocolate ritz cracker sandwiches.
