Notes
I used to always use the regular Ritz crackers and they work amazing. Someone accidentally bought a box of the Ritz Everything crackers in our house, so I gave them a shot and man! They upped the flavor even more. They just add the nicest touch of seasoning I didn't know that I needed.
Let's talk about parchment paper. It's obviously not required, you can just spray your pan with cooking oil... But that requires some scrubbing to be done. You could also line your cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking oil... But I try to not use foil whenever possible. Parchment paper has become this cook's best friend. It makes my life so much easier and cleaner. I use this brand from Walmart or Publix, because it's unbleached and it works for every single dish I cook!
