Garlic Bread Ritz Bits

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Butter Coating
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic powder, dried parsley, and salt (if using), mixing well until combined.

Step 3: Coat the Ritz Bits
Place the Ritz Bits in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over the crackers and gently toss to coat evenly. If you want an extra cheesy flavor, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the coated crackers and toss again.

Step 4: Bake
Spread the coated Ritz Bits in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even coating. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 5: Cool and Serve
Allow the crackers to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to crisp up. Serve warm or at room temperature!
