A Ritz cracker is something I can always count on. Whether it’s the perfect buttery vessel for a delicious dip or the only thing I can stomach after a long night out, I always have a sleeve of them in my pantry. There’s a reason you can always find them on the charcuterie board at a party. And this year, it looks like you’re going to be serving Ritz crackers as a nonnegotiable for the rest of the football season.
Ritz just dropped a football-shaped cracker, available starting today, to motivate any football or celeb-sightings-at-games fans (hi, Taylor!) to really get in the spirit. Whether you’re serving up a Ritz-coated chicken for dinner during a Monday night game or jalapeño popper dip with a crumbly Ritz topping, you’re gonna want to buy a box (or two).
Ritz crackers are already phenomenal. The butteriness. The crispiness. And now, the shape is something to write home about, too. Unexpectedly, the sphere football shape of these crackers actually make diving into dips all the easier. I was able to scoop up pimento cheese without ever breaking a cracker in half. Even though the shape changed, the original and beloved flavor and texture of the cracker is the same.
If you’re a host, you know it’s all in the details. A simple swap for these festive football crackers is the very change that’ll take your quickly approaching Super Bowl party from good to great. Perhaps you can even coordinate the rest of your table to match your favorite team? No matter who you’re rooting for these next few months, or even if you are just there for the snacks, these footballs will be sure to satisfy every guest.
We all know the tried-and-true pairing for any cracker or chip during the Super Bowl is a sizzling dish of Buffalo chicken dip. Just imagine how delicious this buttery cracker will taste paired with the spice and heat of some Buff chick dip. I’m seriously getting hungry just thinking about it.
