Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 18¿20

Ingredients

Two 10 1/2-ounce boxes Ritz Cheese Bits (not peanut butter flavor)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
One 1-ounce package Hidden Valley Original Ranch salad dressing mix
1 heaping tablespoon dried dill
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon celery salt

Preparation

  1. Place the crackers in a large sealable freezer container. In a bowl, mix the oil, salad dressing mix, dill, garlic powder, and celery salt. Pour this mixture over the crackers, cover the container, and invert it to coat the crackers with seasoning. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours, turning the container every so often to keep the crackers coated. Let the mixture come to room temperature before serving. Store in the covered container in the refrigerator.
