Oh, I should also mention there&#8217;s a Four Cheese &#038; Herb flavor along with the cheddar variety. But since I haven&#8217;t had Cheez-It Italian Four Cheese Crackers, I can&#8217;t say the Ritz Cheese Crispers version is better.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ritz-Cheddar-Cheese-Crispers.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ritz Cheddar Cheese Crispers\" title=\"Ritz Cheddar Cheese Crispers.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The cheddar one combines the crispiness of a Ritz Crisp &#038; Thins, the size of Wheat Thins, and Cheetos&#8217; radioactive orange color, but without leaving a layer of cheesy dust on your fingers. <\/p>\n<p>Why do I prefer them over Cheez-It Crackers?<\/p>\n<p>Well, first off, the chips have an airy crispiness that I love biting down upon more than the crunch of crackers. Then there&#8217;s a sharp cheddar flavor with a bold zing that tastes even cheesier than Cheez-It Crackers. (NOTE: I haven&#8217;t tried the Extra Cheesy Cheez-Its.) I could eat these all day if I had an endless supply of it or if the box was a portal to a dimension that has only Ritz Cheddar Cheese Crispers.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ritz-Four-Cheese-Herb-Cheese-Crispers.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ritz Four Cheese  Herb Cheese Crispers\" title=\"Ritz Four Cheese &#038; Herb Cheese Crispers.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Four Cheese &#038; Herb variety is seasoned with cheddar, Monterey Jack, parmesan, and mozzarella. The only herb I see listed in the ingredients is parsley, but I imagine that&#8217;s there for looks, and the actual herb flavor comes from a vague ingredient listed, like spices.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t pinpoint which cheese is which as I eat it, but combined they taste like, and I&#8217;ve used this comparison before with other cheesy cracker products, a Totino&#8217;s pizza. Much like the other one, I have a hard time putting this down.<\/p>\n<p>Both are extremely snackable, especially the cheddar flavor, but they&#8217;re not perfect.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ritz-Cheese-Crispers-Front-and-Back.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ritz Cheese Crispers Front and Back\" title=\"Ritz Cheese Crispers Front and Back.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The whole chip isn&#8217;t covered with cheesy seasoning, and it&#8217;s most noticeable with the cheddar flavor. While one side looks like Chester Cheetah sneezed point-blank on them after stuffing his mouth with Cheetos, the other side is quite naked. <\/p>\n<p>Because almost all the seasoning is on one side, to get the full cheese punch, it needs to be eaten seasoned side down so that it all hits your taste buds. If consumed the other way, they&#8217;re less enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>I imagine some of you will disagree with my belief that Ritz Cheese Crispers are better than Cheez-It Crackers. Some of you will point out that technically I can&#8217;t compare the two because one is a cracker and the other is a chip. But if I&#8217;m going to reach for a crunchy cheesy snack in the cracker section of the store I&#8217;m at, I&#8217;m going to grab Ritz Cheddar Cheese Crispers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received free samples of the product.
