Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 box (approximately 12 oz) Ritz crackers
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup dill pickles, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt, to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients including Ritz crackers, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, fresh dill, sliced dill pickles, and salt if desired.
  2. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with garlic powder and chopped fresh dill. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, creating a flavorful spread.
  3. Assemble Bites: Take one Ritz cracker and spread a generous layer of the prepared cheese mixture on top. Place a slice of dill pickle over the cheese, then top with a second Ritz cracker to sandwich the filling, creating the bite-sized snack.
  4. Chill: Arrange the assembled Ritz bites on a tray or plate and chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the cheese to firm up, making them easier to handle and enhancing taste.

Notes

  • For easier spreading, ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature.
  • You can substitute fresh dill with dried dill if fresh is unavailable, using about 1 tablespoon dried dill.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic powder and dill to your taste preference.
  • Chilling is important to help the bites hold together and improve flavor.
  • These bites are best served fresh within a day or two for optimal texture and taste.
