- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Mix Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, dried parsley, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
- Coat Crackers: Add the Ritz Bits Cheese Sandwich Crackers to the bowl and gently toss them until they are evenly coated with the garlic butter mixture.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the coated crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even baking.
- Bake: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through the baking time, until the crackers turn golden and slightly crispy.
- Add Cheese and Cool: Remove the crackers from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with grated Parmesan cheese. Allow the crackers to cool before serving or storing.

- For extra cheesy flavor, add more Parmesan or a pinch of mozzarella cheese before baking.
- These make a perfect party snack or lunchbox treat.
