Tips/Notes
- I used extra Toasty Cheez-Its because they are my favorite. You could also use regular Cheez-Its, but I would avoid using seasoned Cheez-Its.
- You can also transfer the Cheez-Its to a gallon Ziploc bag, pour on the butter mixture, and give the bag a good shake to coat the crackers.
- I like to store my Ranch Cheez-Its in a gallon freezer Ziploc bag. When stored this way, they stay crispy for up to a week.
