I live in a house of boys. People always talk about boys eating you out of house and home, but I never imagined it would start this early. Both of these boys have bottomless pits for stomachs, so we're pretty much snacking all day around here. I need to be able to feed them snacks that they'll eat and need it to last as long as possible in their belly.

These Mac & Cheese RITZ® Bites are perfect for a party appetizer or just because!

Before I share our yummy snack, I want to let you know about a fun contest RITZ® has going on right now! You can enter to win one of forty $100 Walmart e-Gift Cards (10 per week) by uploading an Instagram photo of your RITZ®-topped creation with #putitonaritzcontest.

Ritz Snackify Challenge Instagram Contest

In our house, you'll always find certain things in the pantry or fridge. For instance, RITZ® crackers of some flavor or another are always on the shelf. I'm a sucker for the RITZ® Bits Cheese, but they don't work for topping quite like a regular size cracker does. On a side note, have you tried the Bacon? It's delicious! Anyway, for our snack today we're sharing our Mac & Cheese RITZ® Bites. Mac & Cheese is another of those items you'll always find in our fridge as a leftover or a box in the pantry ready to make. I love a quick meal and mac & cheese always seems to be a people pleaser.We threw together this perfect bite with things everyone probably has on-hand (or should)! It's perfect for a party appetizer or a quick lunch.

I will warn you: these don't last long! Owen kept sneaking back over to the table to grab another. Apparently he thought we wouldn't notice that he ate 4 (or 8, I'm really not sure at this point).

We were able to sample some RITZ® at Walmart! We're always down for a free sample! We tried some mini pizzas and peanut butter and marshmallow fluff with banana on a RITZ®, too!
