Ritz Crackers in Crackers(509)

What are some simple finger food type appetizers for a party?

Finger foods are an easy way to serve appetizers. Top buttery crackers with cream cheese, cucumber, and diced red pepper for a simple savory appetizer. Loaded potato skins are a more filling option that only requires a scooped-out potato baked with cheese and bacon and topped with chives. Try bruschetta for a more formal event. This appetizer is simply toasted bread brushed with olive oil and garlic and topped with fresh diced tomatoes and onion.

What are some sweet and salty dessert recipes?

Many sweets complement salty foods, making for delicious and decadent desserts. Try combining the salty crunch of butter crackers with peanut butter and chocolate for an easy sweet and salty dessert. Cracker toffee is made by layering butter crackers and topping them with brown sugar, chocolate chips, and butter that has been caramelized in a saucepan. Bake and cool, top with melted chocolate, and let it set in the fridge. Another quick dessert is dipping peanut butter sandwich crackers in melted chocolate and letting them harden in the fridge until set.

What are prepackaged snacks I can pack for lunch?

When you’re looking for a convenient snack to take along with your lunch, look for prepackaged snacks like crackers, pretzels, or granola bars. You can make these snacks more substantial by pairing them with a protein or a piece of fruit. Try crackers and nut butter, pretzels and hummus, or a granola bar with an apple or prepackaged protein shake.
