\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

Butter.<\/p>\n

It makes bread taste better. It makes theater popcorn less healthy. It made Paula Deen a multimillionaire. And it helps take off rings that have gotten stuck on fingers because folks have eaten either too much buttered bread, theater popcorn, or Paula Deen\u2019s cooking.<\/p>\n

Butteriness.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of the defining characteristics of the iconic Ritz Cracker. Crumbly is also a defining characteristic, but I\u2019m not here to talk about the mess Ritz Crackers make. I\u2019m here to discuss whether it\u2019s\u00a0necessary to take the already buttery Ritz Cracker and make the Limited Edition Ritz Ultimate Butter Crackers.<\/p>\n

The cracker has a strong artificial butter flavor, which isn\u2019t surprising since the words \u201cartificially flavored\u201d are printed on the front of the box in tall thin letters and they have a smell that\u2019s similar to what you\u2019d get with anything that\u2019s \u201cbuttered popcorn\u201d flavored.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

The first cracker is a bit odd, but not odd enough to make me go \u201cnope,\u201d walk away, and leave the other seven Fresh Packs for birds. But if you have an aversion to Buttered Popcorn Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, I imagine you won\u2019t enjoy these.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, after that initial cracker, the artificial butter flavor fades, which I guess is a good thing. But even with a muted flavor, they\u2019re still noticeably more buttery than regular Ritz crackers. I think they’re not bad on their own and they’re as crispy as any Ritz cracker, but I definitely prefer regular Ritz Crackers over them. \u00a0<\/p>\n

On\u00a0the Limited Edition Ritz Ultimate Butter Crackers box, it suggests you create \u201cRitzwiches\u201d featuring steak and potatoes, corn and bacon, and caramel corn. Seeing those suggestions got me thinking that maybe these crackers were really meant to be eaten with toppings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since I lack the drive to prepare fancy toppings like steak and potatoes, I went with whatever was in my fridge \u2014 processed American cheese. I have to admit the American cheese between two crackers was surprisingly good. It tasted as if I was eating a grilled cheese sandwich.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

I also used another ingredient from my fridge to make cracker sandwiches \u2014 butter. Let\u2019s face it, using a pat of butter as the filling for a cracker sandwich with these extra buttery crackers would truly make them the ultimate. <\/p>\n

So how did it taste? It tastes just like a pat of butter or licking the paddle attachment of a KitchenAid Stand Mixer that was just used to soften butter. <\/p>\n

Remind me to not eat that again.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> As crispy as regular Ritz Crackers. Not bad after the first cracker. Tastes surprisingly good with American cheese. Butter.
\nCons:<\/b> First cracker has a heavy artificial butter flavor. If you don’t like Buttered Popcorn Jelly Belly, you’re not going to like these. Maybe not meant to be eaten without toppings. Making cracker sandwiches using pats of butter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
