I have never been one to need an excuse to whip up some tasty treats in the kitchen, but if I needed a reason, then the Big Game would be the perfect excuse. I love how Game Time (especially the Big Game!) brings friends and family together.
I’m a sucker for anything that brings two of my favorite things together – food and friends. Honestly, I look forward to the time spent with good food and the people I love more than I look forward to Game Time (but don’t tell anyone else my little secret!).
I’ve got the perfect pairing for this year’s Game Time celebration, whether you’re hosting a gathering or crashing a friend’s party. I’ve brought a few of my favorite tastes together into one delicious and sinfully easy snack – Ritz Turtle Bites! And I can’t leave out my favorite drink of all time – Coca-Cola Zero Sugar – which goes perfectly with these turtle bites. I picked up all of these ingredients at Walmart this week so that I’d have a head start on our Big Game party planning.
The BEST thing about these Ritz Turtle Bites is how delicious they are, but a close second is how easy they are to make. You can whip up a whole batch in under 10 minutes (can’t beat that!).
I’m telling you – this snack is going to be the hit of your party!
Ritz Turtle Bites
Ingredients:
- Ritz Crackers
- Pecan halves
- Rolo candies
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Place Ritz Crackers on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Put one Rolo candy in the middle of each Ritz cracker.
- Heat crackers in the oven for 3-4 minutes, just long enough so that the candy softens. This is the perfect time to pour a nice cold glass of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar to sip while you wait.
- Remove the cookie sheet from the oven. While the chocolate is still warm, press one pecan half on top of the Rolo and press down gently.
Let cool for a few minutes and enjoy! - Don’t forget to serve with Coca-Cola Zero Sugar!
The recipe couldn’t be any easier, but I did want to point out a tip about amounts. For every Ritz Cracker, you’ll need one Rolo candy and one pecan half. It’s a one-to-one-to-one recipe. Easy peasy! I recommend planning for 3 turtle bites per person you’re expecting to be at your Game Time gathering. If you need more, it’s quick and easy to put another batch in the oven.
Note: you can also make these in the microwave by placing crackers and Rolos on a microwave-safe plate and heating for about 25 seconds.
Ritz Crackers are the ideal starting point for so many snacks and finger foods, whether you’re craving a sweet treat like this one or serving alongside a cheese log (another party staple at our house!). I love the buttery-salty goodness of Ritz Crackers. It’s amazing how versatile they are!
What are your favorite ways to enjoy Ritz Crackers and Coke? I’d love to hear your favorite cracker pairings – are you a cheese and cracker kind of person or do you like getting creative with sweet treats like me?
