Serving Tips
Did you know that you can jazz your Ritz cracker snacks up? Think presentation. That's right, if you are unsure as to whether your guests will be drawn to try one of these scrumptious snacks, think about how you are laying it out for them.
For instance, use a serving platter and place it in the center of your table to draw attention. Place table décor, or even napkins and plates next to the serving dish to ensure these sinful bites are not looked over.
