Ritz Saltine Party Recipe is a popular appetizer that combines the flavors of Ritz crackers, saltine crackers, and a seasoned buttery topping. While there may be variations of the recipe, here’s a basic version for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 sleeve of Ritz crackers
- 1 sleeve of saltine crackers
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) – optional
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Arrange a layer of Ritz crackers and a layer of saltine crackers on the prepared baking sheet. You can place them side by side to cover the entire sheet.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, then let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Pour the butter and sugar mixture evenly over the crackers on the baking sheet, making sure to cover them as much as possible.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the topping is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot, bubbly mixture.
- Allow the chocolate chips to melt for a couple of minutes, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the crackers.
- If you’re using nuts, sprinkle them over the chocolate layer.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
- Once cooled and set, break the party mix into bite-sized pieces.
