Pepperoni Pizza Crackers
Easy pepperoni pizza crackers with ranch butter, melted cheese & crispy pepperoni. The perfect bite-sized party snack!
Ingredients
For the Crackers:
- 48 Ritz crackers
- 1 lb grated mozzarella cheese
- 6 oz sliced pepperoni
- 1 cup marinara sauce plus more for dipping
For the Ranch Butter:
- 2 tbsp ranch seasoning
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Make the Ranch Butter
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and ranch seasoning until well combined.
Assemble the Crackers
- Lay 48 Ritz crackers on one of the prepared sheet trays.
- Drizzle each cracker with the ranch butter mixture.
- Top each with a generous pinch of grated mozzarella cheese.
Prepare the Pepperoni
- Spread out the pepperoni slices evenly on the second baking tray.
- This allows them to crisp up separately and avoids sogginess.
Bake
- Place both trays in the oven on the top rack.
- Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pepperoni is crisp.
Finish & Serve
- Remove from the oven and dollop each cheesy cracker with a spoonful of warm marinara sauce.
- Top with one crispy pepperoni slice.
- Serve warm with extra marinara on the side for dipping.
