  • Author: ChefSophia

  • Yield: About 24–30 mini sandwiches (depends on cracker count) 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian (contains dairy)

Description

These Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches are the easiest little bites to pop onto any snack tray. Buttery crackers, a creamy cheese filling, and a pop of color from bell pepper and green onion make them look festive with almost no effort. Perfect for game day, holiday appetizers, or a quick make-ahead nibble everyone will reach for first.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box Ritz crackers
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup cheddar cheese, finely shredded
  • ¼ cup green onions, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup red bell pepper, finely diced

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and diced red bell pepper.
  2. Mix well until smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Lay out half of the Ritz crackers on a clean work surface or tray.
  4. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each cracker.
  5. Top each with another Ritz cracker to form a sandwich and press gently to seal.
  6. Arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter or baking sheet.
  7. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese for smooth mixing and easy spreading.
  • Finely chop the veggies so they sit neatly between the crackers.
  • Taste the filling and adjust salt, pepper, and seasonings to your liking.
  • Chill sandwiches before serving for best texture and cleaner bites.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Avoid freezing to keep the crackers from turning soft or stale.
  • If serving outdoors, keep chilled as long as possible so the filling stays firm.
