# Bite-Sized Fudge-Drizzled Crackers Ritz Drizzled Minis Crackers are Salty and Sweet By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2025-12-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ritz-drizzled-minis References: [snackandbakery](https://www.snackandbakery.com/articles/114872-ritz-introduces-drizzled-minis-crackers) & [snackworks](https://www.snackworks.com/brands/ritz/)  The Ritz Drizzled Minis Crackers are a new product created by Mondelēz International to help consumers enjoy a salty and sweet snack without having to choose between the two. The product consists of Ritz crackers that are drizzled overtop with fudge to impart a sweet, creamy taste that will work well against the crispy cracker base. The crackers come in two options including Fudge-Flavored and Caramel-Flavored, which are each perfect for satisfying different taste preferences. The Ritz Drizzled Minis Crackers are arriving now at convenience stores in four-ounce packs and will also come in eight-ounce packs alongside one-ounce 10-count boxes in March 2026. The snack is expected to be a hit amongst consumers given its new yet familiar format.
