This New Ritz Cracker-Chip Is Dangerously Good

Recently at the Bon Appétit offices, we had a debate about the best cheesy cracker, and it came down to Goldfish vs. Cheez-Its vs. Annie’s Cheddar Bunnies. I am a lifetime White Cheddar Cheez-Its enthusiast, but a new cracker-chip hybrid just won the coveted No. 1 spot in my heart: Cream cheese and onion Ritz Crisp & Thins.

These baked cracker-chip hybrids have already existed in the UK for a few years, but they’re brand-new to stateside shelves starting this week. On paper, they aren’t anything to write home about. They are exactly what their name implies: crispy and thin. But the balance of saltiness, subtle cheesy flavor, a liiiiittle signature Ritz butteriness, and a bite of onion (more like a chive than a yellow onion) is so balanced and satisfying that you can’t help but eat handful after handful. Senior web editor Alex Beggs loved them so much that she filled her office cereal bowl with them…twice.

“They tasted so crispy and oily that I’d swear they were fried, which is a very good deception. If you bake something with enough oil, is it fried? It truly makes you question everything,” Beggs comments. “Sometimes, before I go to bed, I wonder how they’d be with sour cream and onion dip, and that helps with the anxiety.”

Even though they do have a fried taste, these thin, hollow-on-the-inside chips are baked, and have “50 percent less fat than the leading regular fried potato chip,” according to Ritz. (FYI, you can eat 21 crisps for 4.5 grams of fat and 130 calories, if you wanted to count.) They have a crisp, airy texture unlike the thicker cheddar and sour cream Ruffles (a personal favorite) or the almost-styrofoam fluffiness of Popchips. They are a league of their own. Also, the cheese flavoring doesn’t get all over your fingers like Cheetos or Cheez-Its (also delicious) so you can chow down at your desk without smudging chip grease all over your keyboard.

Even when there were only shattered crumbs at the bottom—these things are fragile!—people kept grazing on them at the office. They’re definitely worth the $3.69 (per 7.1 oz. bag; that 0.1 oz. is really what you’re paying for) and I recommend buying at least two bags for “chip backup.” They’re great as-is, but I want to use them to bread my crispy chicken cutlets this week. Yep. I went there, and you should too.
