- Toss to Coat: Place the Ritz Bits in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over the crackers and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Add Parmesan (Optional): Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the coated crackers and toss again if you want an extra cheesy flavor.
Step 4: Bake
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated Ritz Bits in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and 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
- Cool: Allow the crackers to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to crisp up.
- Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
