I love Ritz Crackers. I've been snacking on them for years. Hey, what can I say? They're buttery-tasting and delicious! I've always been a straight-from-the-box kind of girl, but now that the holidays are upon us, I've upped my game and have been using Ritz Crackers in meals, appetizers, and party snacks.

Ritz Crackers Are Perfect in Recipes

Remember that delicious, buttery taste I just mentioned? Well, not only is that taste and texture fantastic straight out of the box, but it's also delicious in recipes. To date, I've used Ritz Crackers as a topping on a few casseroles, which was fantastic. I've also used them as a topping for baked chicken, which went over just as well as I imagined.

With these past successes in mind, I thought I'd make a bacon-ranch cheese ball for the holidays, topped with Ritz Crackers. Nothing says holidays like a good cheese ball, right?! Seriously, when's the last time you were at a get-together that did NOT involve a cheese ball? Exactly!

The beauty of a cheese ball topped and served with Ritz Crackers is that it has everything. Usually, you'd just spread the cheese onto a cracker, but when you make a cheese ball topped with Ritz Crackers, you've got the best of both worlds! It's delicious, easy, and pretty much all in one.

    I put 1/2 cup of chopped bacon into the mix.
    Then formed two balls.
    Used 1/4 cup bacon and 6 crushed Ritz crackers to coat one cheese ball.
    Then did the same with the other cheese ball.

    Instead of wrapping it up with cling plastic wrap, can i just put in a pyrex bowl with lid?
