Ingredients

Base

  • Ritz Crackers – 1 sleeve (about 32 crackers)

Cheese Mixture

  • Cream Cheese – 4 oz, softened to room temperature
  • Cheddar Cheese – 1 cup shredded (sharp or mild)
  • Dill Pickles – 2 medium, finely chopped and patted dry
  • Dill Weed – 1 teaspoon (fresh chopped or dried)
  • Garlic Powder – 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, finely chopped dill pickles, dill weed, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
  2. Assemble the Bites: Lay the Ritz crackers out on a serving plate. Using a small spoon or piping bag, dollop the cheese and pickle mixture evenly onto each cracker, creating a little mound on top.
  3. Chill and Serve: Place the assembled bites in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up the cheese mixture. This helps the flavors meld and keeps the bites neat when serving.

Notes

  • Pat pickles dry before chopping to avoid soggy bites.
  • Soften cream cheese to room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • Use a mini cookie scoop for even portions on each cracker.
  • Prepare the cheese mixture a day ahead to save time and enhance flavors.
  • Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor balance.
