Quick, easy, and delicious snacks are a must around here and these mango cream cheese snacks are a new favorite. They take no time to make, sneak in a bit of fruit and protein, and are so good! It’s the perfect recipe for an after-school {or a before-the-kids-come-home} snack!
To make a delicious RITZwich, head to your local Albertsons, and buy Ritz crackers, cream cheese, fresh or jarred mangoes, pecan halves, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper … then stack it up!
Use your favorite flavor of cream cheese. We like these snacks with plain whipped cream cheese or honey pecan flavor.
Spread a dollop of cream cheese onto a Ritz cracker {try the Limited Edition RITZ Ultimate Butter variety for an extra flavor blast} …
… top the cream cheese with a sprinkle of chopped mango …
… and top it with another Ritz cracker to make a sweet and savory RITZwich! If you’re serving these as an appetizer at a party, add a candied pecan to the top. You can make these by stirring together 1/4 cup of pecan halves with a tablespoon of brown sugar and a dash of cayenne pepper. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until the sugar has melted and the pecans are coated. Let them cool on wax paper before placing them on the cracker.
Simple, right? They’re the perfect after-school snack {with a bottle or glass of milk, of course} …
… or a quick and easy appetizer for a party!
The RITZwich possibilities are endless: stack it up with a smear of peanut butter and a banana slice, a dollop of refried beans and a sprinkle of grated cheese, or a slice of your favorite summer sausage and a squirt of grainy mustard.
