  4. Toss gently to ensure each cracker is coated evenly.

Notes

You can prepare the butter mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Give it a quick reheat before tossing with the Ritz Bits. For extra crunch, give them an extra minute in the oven if needed. Want to spice things up? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or swap the Parmesan for your favorite cheese blend!
