Not extra butter, not heaps of butter, not movie theater butter \u2014 although an Ultimate Butter version in 2016 apparently took that dive \u2014 just the non-threatening and seemingly safe Buttery-er.<\/p>\n<p>Before going into this, I should note that I love original Ritz Crackers. Growing up, there were two elite plain and buttery crackers &#8212; Nabisco\u2019s Ritz and Kellogg\u2019s Club. Ritz Crackers were always the preferred base for a ridiculous amount of squishy, squirt-y Easy Cheese or cream cheese, and Club Crackers felt like the more elegant, refined buttery choice for proper cheese and\/or meat. As an adult, my favorite iteration of a Ritz is the fudge-covered one that pops up for the holidays \u2014 an absolutely underrated pinnacle of the modern sweet and salty snacking era.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lebutyerritzcr2.jpeg?resize=600%2C762&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"762\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-62145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lebutyerritzcr2.jpeg?resize=600%2C762&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lebutyerritzcr2.jpeg?resize=236%2C300&amp;ssl=1 236w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lebutyerritzcr2.jpeg?resize=768%2C975&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lebutyerritzcr2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Diving into this new Buttery-er version is a very familiar and satisfying experience. Soft and crumbly with a perfect amount of salt and a lovely golden buttery flavor throughout. My initial thought is that they are, indeed, more buttery, or, apologies, buttery-er. However, it isn\u2019t an aggressive or artificial flavor like a Jelly Belly jelly bean; it\u2019s simply a richer foundation to an already rich cracker. They also feel softer and more crumbly with an even quicker melt-in-your-mouth sensation than the original that\u2019s been promising a \u201cbite of the good life\u201d since the 1930s.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lebutyerritzcr3.jpeg?resize=600%2C635&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"635\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-62146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lebutyerritzcr3.jpeg?resize=600%2C635&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lebutyerritzcr3.jpeg?resize=283%2C300&amp;ssl=1 283w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lebutyerritzcr3.jpeg?resize=768%2C813&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lebutyerritzcr3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fun fact: both the original and these new limited edition Ritz Crackers contain no butter, and are vegan. Any buttery presence in one versus the other is the density of the science-flavored oils.

There\u2019s only one way to truly find out: a side-by-side taste test. Eating an original Ritz cracker and then the new Buttery-er version right after confirms what I thought prior to having the control cracker \u2014 it\u2019s more buttery, and it\u2019s subtle. The limited edition leaves a slightly more pronounced buttery oil feeling on the tongue than the OG, similar to movie theater butter, but much less intense. This makes sense because the \u201cbutter\u201d at most theaters is also butter-flavored oil.<\/p>\n<p>The Buttery-er Ritz Cracker is a lusher, slightly elevated experience from its already elite predecessor that I\u2019m happy I found and tried. Honestly, I wouldn\u2019t mind if they made this the full-time recipe, but unless you\u2019re a cracker completist, you don\u2019t NEED to rush out to find these before they\u2019re gone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $4.99<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 13.7 oz<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Nob Hill<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (5 crackers, 17g) 90 calories, 5 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 130 milligrams of sodium, 10 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 1 gram of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the land of limited editions that dare to make the consumer want to try something more extreme or risky, we have the new, tame, and enticing, Limited Edition Buttery-er Ritz Cracker.
