Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and use a hand mixer to blend it until smooth. Gradually add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, finely chopped chives, red bell pepper, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. Take one Ritz cracker and spread about a teaspoon of the cheese mixture on top. Place another Ritz cracker on top to form a sandwich, gently pressing down to ensure the filling holds. Repeat this process with the remaining crackers and filling.
  3. If desired, finely chop some additional chives and sprinkle them over the assembled sandwiches. Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  4. When ready to serve, remove the Ritz Crackers Party Snacks from the refrigerator and place them on a festive platter. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
