FAQ
Can I use other crackers instead of Ritz Bits?
Yes. Thin crackers like Cheez-Its or oyster crackers work well. Adjust baking time by 2-3 minutes depending on thickness and size.
What if my crackers come out too soft or not crispy?
Ensure they cool completely on the pan undisturbed for full crisping. If still soft, return to 300F oven for 5 more minutes.
Can I freeze these for longer storage?
Yes. Freeze in an airtight container up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to restore crispness.
