I don’t know about you, but if I could only eat one kind of food for the rest of my life it would be one-bite snacks. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good hearty meal as much as the next person, but put me in a room with an appetizer tray full of fresh, healthy finger food and I’m a happy girl!
When you enjoy appetizers as much as I do, it’s important to find a way to enjoy them in a healthy way and in moderation. I love making my own one-bite snacks because that’s always the best way to enjoy all that deliciousness while making a healthy choice. Which is why I’m so excited to be partnering with RITZ Crackers today to bring you these delicious Creamy Bruschetta Appetizer Bites! They feature fresh, Italian flavours for the perfect appetizer or snack that’s creamy and fresh, but also a healthy choice.
I was so glad to discover that my local WalMart’s cracker aisle was well stocked with RITZ Original Crackers!

How to Serve Creamy Bruschetta Appetizer Bites
Delicious RITZ crackers make a great base for the bruschetta appetizer bites. They’re the perfect balance of tender and crispy and they’re just a little bit savoury, pairing perfectly with the creamy garlic spread and tangy tomato bruschetta full of delicious herbs and spices.
Seriously…every bite is a flavour explosion! These Creamy Bruschetta Bites are my favourite snack right now and I know you’re going to love them as much as I do!

Thanks Cathy! They do make a great party snack, or just a snack for no reason at all! 🙂
Such a perfect little appetiser! Love bruschetta and it's such a great idea to take the flavours and pair them with ritz.
Thanks Thalia! Isn't bruschetta the best??!
These sound yummy! I would like to take these to a party, but I worry they will get soggy. Can you make them an hour or so ahead of time?
Thanks!
Yes, they can be made up to an hour ahead of time. But because it’s such a simple recipe, they’re pretty easy to assemble at the last minute if you prepare the bruschetta mixture and the cream cheese mixture ahead of time. I hope you enjoy them!
